📰 News we're reading

• Cell tower approved near Middletown to end years of spotty service (delawareonline.com) — Hockessin residents already benefiting from a 2024 cell tower are part of a broader New Castle County push to erase dead zones, as a new 156-foot tower near Middletown just won approval. Funded with federal relief dollars, the project aims to fix notoriously weak service along the state border, despite some neighbors' concerns about height, aesthetics, and property values.
   

• Delaware liquor stores brace for Canadian import ban (delawarebusinesstimes.com) — A Hockessin liquor store owner is among several Delaware retailers watching to see how President Trump's proposed ban on more than 50 types of Canadian liquor might affect their shelves. While some stores, including the Hockessin business, have stocked up on brands like Crown Royal, owners say Canadian products are a small share of sales and alternatives are plentiful.
