  • The industrial and manufacturing parks;
  • The Route 9 and Route 113 corridors – retail and commercial frontage;
  • The county-seat institutional and healthcare nodes.

Permitting and Code in Georgetown

Commercial construction in Georgetown is built to the building code adopted by Sussex County and the local municipality, with environmental review through Delaware’s DNREC where applicable. As the county seat with a strong agribusiness base, Georgetown’s commercial work spans civic, industrial, and processing projects.

  • Adopted building code — International Building Code as adopted locally, with plan review, permitting, and inspections;
  • Agribusiness and processing — specialized systems, sanitation, and refrigeration for food-processing facilities;
  • Stormwater and site work — DNREC and county sediment, stormwater, and environmental requirements;
  • Flat-terrain stormwater and DNREC agricultural-site considerations

We design and build to these from day one so a Georgetown project clears review and performs for the long term.
