Council adopts Plano Logistics Center despite appeal and split vote

New Castle County Council · January 13, 2026

Summary

Council approved R26008, a major land development plan for the Plano Logistics Center (two very large warehouse buildings). The resolution passed on a 9–3 vote with one not voting; the sponsor said the action complied with a judicial order and adopted the record from committee.

The New Castle County Council voted to adopt R26008 on Jan. 13, approving a major land development plan for the Plano Logistics Center in St. George's Hundred. The clerk recited the project as proposing a 1,409,850-square-foot warehouse and a 962,000-square-foot warehouse with associated site improvements.

Councilman Carter, who presented the resolution, said the item was before council to comply with a judicial order then under appeal and that he wanted to adopt the Land Use Committee record entered on Jan. 6. "This resolution is before council today to comply with you do a judicial order that is currently under appeal. I also want to adopt everything entered into the record at our January 6 20 26 Land Use Committee meeting," he said.

An attorney for the applicant and project representatives were present; the applicant's representative introduced herself as Kim Hoffman of Morris James and said the applicant was prepared to answer substantive questions. The clerk reported the roll call as 9 yes, 3 no and 1 not voting; the resolution was adopted.

The council did not record amendments on the floor. The record shows the council adopted the committee record into the final action; the judicial appeal was noted in council remarks but the council moved forward with the measure.
