New Castle County Councilman Tim Sheldon's Ninth District Update Sharing information with you...

Pike Creek Golf Course

As you may or may not be aware, the County is involved in litigation over the Pike Creek golf course.  A hearing was held over a year ago and a verbal decision was issued at that time.  However, a written decision has not yet been received.  Our office has learned that, as a result, the Court has reassigned the case to a new judge, Judge Wallace.  Judge Wallace has stated resolving this matter is a priority for him and plans to issue a formal decision in the immediate future.

In an effort to assist the Judge, the parties are to submit a written outline to include the procedural background, arguments raised and rulings issued.  Currently, the Court does not intend to hold any further hearings on this matter nor will there be additional arguments or briefings on the matter.  We will continue to keep you updated on the matter as more information is received.
