SARG Response in June 2020

SARG's email of June 15, 2020:

Hi Folks,

This communication is coming to you from The Sussex County Alliance for Responsible Growth- SARG, a grass root organization whose charter is to operate as a non-partisan alliance to inform, educate and engage the citizens of Sussex County as to the critical importance of the development, adoption and implementation of the Sussex County Comprehensive Plan.

Please allow this communication to introduce the launch of a “series” of commentaries on a critical matter impacting the residents of Sussex County.

Over the next 6 months Sussex County will soon be tackling one of the most important pieces of environmental policy in its history. This is the modernization of the 32 year old § 115-193 Buffer zones for wetlands and tidal and perennial nontidal waters ordinance.

Sussex County is proposing a revised ordinance to protect the property values and safety of its residents by requiring more extensive natural buffers between new residential developments and its wetlands and waters. For the past 18 months this policy has been studied, discussed and debated by a workgroup of 13 County appointed stakeholders.

Please find two attachments that will introduce the series and the first series installment.

SARG hopes you find these commentaries helpful and encourage you to get involved in bringing about meaningful change throughout the County.

We encourage you to share this commentary with your family, neighbors, organizations and affiliations.

Thank you in advance for your interest and engagement in this critical topic!

Regards,

SARG
