⛽ Middletown rejects Wawa store due to size concerns. The city council voted 5-0 against the proposed convenience store and gas station at a vacant CVS location on Union Road. Council members cited the site's insufficient acreage for the required zoning change, as Wawa's 75,000 square feet fell well short of the 210,000 square foot standard.

The $7 million project would have created 40 jobs, but city planners also worried about oversaturation of gas stations in the area.

Both parties serve approximately 230,000 county residents through their water partnership.
