GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - The Sussex County Council says it will finish work at a Georgetown housing subdivision if the developer does not complete it by August.
The council decided Tuesday that it would step in on Aug. 1 if Anderson Homes, of Middletown, does not finish work that includes adding sidewalks and paving roads.
County staff estimate $180,000 in repairs are needed. A $312,500 line of credit from the developer's commercial lender, M&T Bank,will be used to pay for the project if the county takes it on.
Anderson Homes' owner, Stephen E. Anderson, shut down the business last September. The News Journal of Wilmington, Del., reports that Anderson could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
