Edward W. Cooch, Jr. Environmental Scholarship​

Posted on January 21, 2025 by wpccobh
Please share the linked Edward W. Cooch, Jr. Environmental Scholarship application with students and your networks. The deadline is April 15, 2025.
 
The Edward W. Cooch, Jr. Environmental Scholarship fund has been established to honor the late Edward W. Cooch, Jr. (1920-2010).  “Ned” as many of us knew him, was an avid environmentalist with a deep passion for the natural lands and water resources of the State of Delaware.  In 1982 Ned was one of the founders of the Christina Conservancy which promotes the preservation and restoration of the natural and historic resources of the Christina River Watershed.  Ned was one of the driving forces and an inspiration for the Christina River Watershed Cleanup, which was started in 1992, and has removed hundreds of tons of trash from the watershed.  Ned was an active member of the Delaware community and demonstrated a deep commitment to the natural environment.

This $2,500 scholarship will be awarded to one student, selected by the scholarship committee, who demonstrates the ideals that Ned Cooch carried out in his daily life.

McDonald’s Concord Pike Reconstruction-April 11th Public Meeting

Posted on March 21, 2024 by wpccobh

Arches logoThere will be a Public Meeting on Thursday, April 11th at 6:00pm at the Talleyville Fire Company for the public to see plans for the Reconstruction of the McDonald’s Concord Pike location.

The property is located at the southeasterly corner of Prospect Drive and Concord Pike intersection. 

A PLAN is being prepared for submission that includes the current restaurant parcel and the office building parcel, and both will be used for the restaurant.

The restaurant, which will only be slightly more square feet than the existing restaurant, will be situated in a way the owner believes will address the longstanding drive-thru backups on Concord Pike.

This plan will eventually go to the Board of Adjustment for review.
