The Sussex Preservation Coalition and the League of Women Voters of Sussex County Delaware teamed up to develop a presentation that explains the roles and responsibilities of county government officials in relation to land-use decisions. It also explores how changes can be made to the rules and regulations that govern those decisions. After the presentation, there will be time for questions.

SPC also will provide details it has recently learned about the Northstar project, celebrate the approval of the Perimeter Buffer Ordinance and introduce its new website.

SPC is a coalition of local environmental groups in Sussex County dedicated to preserving and protecting local ecosystems. Its mission is to increase the impact of groups and individuals by working together to educate, organize, advocate and act.
