Great analysis on WHYY's Newsworks by Doug Rainey

Excerpt from the analysis:

The vast buffet table of arguments against the project may also be an act of desperation. It
is not at all clear that residents have any hope of halting the project should investors and the University of Delaware decide it should go forward. After all, the site once housed an auto plant.
