No Adult Stores in Millville

There will be no adult entertainment in Millville.

That was the unanimous opinion of the town council which voted to ban such businesses from the city limits.

The August 11th decision also banned massage parlors and taprooms.  

WBOC reports that the decision to bar the massage parlors may have been the result of a prostitution outfit operating in two such businesses in Rehoboth Beach last year.

The town officials told the television station that the ban on adult businesses will provide a better business climate when the Route 26 construction is completed next year.
