has pledged support for an Ogletown Greenway, and to include it in their project library, but will not partner with Ogletown Resilience or 1st State Bikes—the latter also based in Ogletown. Advocates have asked for periodic updates from Senator Walsh, and are hopeful that the above new infrastructure will coincide with the historical marker installation and ceremony in Spring 2023. To date, Senator Walsh (Delaware's 9th District) did ask the Delaware Dept of Transportation (DelDOT) to perform maintenance on the ECG's existing asphalt, which amounted to the patching of a few short sections. Ogletown Regional Park Travesty In 2011, the Felician Sisters of North America started plans to develop their abandoned 180 acre Our Lady of Grace Orphanage Property site on Delaware Route 4. The land, in Ogletown's western flank, was the focus of "Save The Orphanage Property" (STOP), a citizen-led advocacy campaign that was launched on Facebook in 2015 to thwart development in favor of a park. Facebook "Likes" and "Reaches" numbered in the thousands, with Ogletown Resilience as their primary PR source. Though privately owned, the Orphanage Property served as a defacto park for the Ogletown-S. Newark region, and was commonly referred to as Ogletown Pond given its large central Vernal Pool. It was designated by DNREC as one of a few remaining high quality critical habitat areas in Delaware, and the last open space suitable for a regional park and active place-making. The loss of the Orphanage Property to the Chestnut Hill 'Preserve' in 2018 devastated citizens and Advocates, who trusted that the Legislators would fight for them, and that environmental justice would prevail. Today, they continue to publicize government corruption at the State and County levels as the main factor in the loss. This includes conflicts of interest among New Castle County (NCC) Executive Matthew Meyer, his Parks Steering Committee, and the Orphanage Property's developers, followed by the NCC Ethics Commission's refusal to act. Also implicated are State and County Legislators, who failed to notify Conservation Advocates or media outlets such as the Newark Post years earlier, long before development plans had advanced. After the loss was finally realized, Advocates created a YouTube slide film of the Orphanage property as a requiem. With conflicting accounts, State and County Legislators continue to deny any wrongdoing, and maintain that they were sincere in their support of Advocates and the overwhelming majority of Ogletown-S.
