Proposal To Bring Offshore Wind Power Ashore On Hold

FENWICK ISLAND – Officials say a proposal to improve Fenwick Island State Park through a partnership with an offshore wind developer has come to a standstill as staff review thousands of responses from a public survey.

On January 15, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Division of Parks & Recreation closed the comment period for proposed improvements, including new recreational amenities and infrastructure upgrades, at Fenwick Island State Park. Orsted, the developer of the Skipjack wind farm off the coast, has proposed funding the capital projects in exchange for constructing an onshore interconnection facility on park grounds.

This week, Delaware State Parks Community Relations Coordinator Shauna McVey said DNREC received 2,319 unique survey responses during the public comment period. She explained that staff will be reviewing those responses throughout the coming weeks.

I hope they know that they can't do this without the approval of Ghetto 'bury Mare Jake Day. Just ask Ocean City.
