Two bids for city-owned Castle Street property, one would require Wilmington to restart sale process

Next week, Wilmington City Council will consider selling the former bus depot on Castle Street. On paper, it’s an easy choice: as part of the sealed-bid process, the city has to accept the highest offer, which came from developer David Spetrino — or start over. Gerard Newkirk, co-founder of Wilmington-based non-profit Genesis Block, hopes the city will reconsider the latter option.
