The fastest-growing town in Sussex County has two new restaurants and a hotel under construction.
Grotto Pizza and Texas Roadhouse are going up right next door to each other in the Peninsula Crossing shopping center on Route 113 south.
Grotto is set to open in March. Texas Roadhouse has yet to announce an opening date.
Just a bit further south on Route 113, an Avid Hotel is under construction behind the Delmarva Health Pavilion. Town Manager Sheldon Hudson expects the about 80-room hotel to open in the next few months.
“It has that minimalistic millennial orientation,” he said. “Your middle-class weekend traveler is who they target.”
