Area residents and other attendees will be able to learn about the roles and responsibilities of Sussex County government regarding land development, and find out what can be done to bring about change.

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.
