Welcome to Sussex2030!
Welcome to Sussex2030!
We are a group of residents of Sussex County, Delaware who are concerned about responsible development of the County, preservation of the environment, and economic development of the area affectionately known as Slower-Lower-Delaware.
Our group started in August 2019 to oppose the Conditional Use (CU2176) of an Agricultural-Residential Zone (AR-1) for a proposed huge gas/diesel station with a 24/7/365 convenience store. The project was to be located in Angola, between Lewes and Millsboro, on Rt. 24. This project had potential detrimental effects on local drinking water. As a result, the group recognized the need for a citizens group that is united for a brighter future of Sussex County.
Why Sussex2030?
Why Sussex2030?
Residents of Sussex County formed this nonpartisan grassroots group with a vision of Sussex County in the year 2030. Launched in March 2020, we decided that a 10-year benchmark is realistic and attainable. As years go by, we will evaluate our progress and adjust future goals but our main focus will remain the same - the bright future of our beloved county.
What we envision by year 2030:
What we envision by year 2030:
We envision Sussex County, with its natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle, as an attractive and promising place for future generations. In order for this vision to be realized, we are working with the County administration to address the following concerns:
Preserving the number one asset of the County- the natural environment, including the beaches, bays, trees, wildlife, farmlands, wetlands, clean air, safe drinking water, etc.
Improving traffic/road safety by ensuring that development plans include current road safety and capacity studies.
Enhancing local public transportation.
Ensuring adequate public facilities for all Sussex County residents -
schools, fire stations, emergency medical services, libraries, parks and
other natural areas, medical facilities, etc.Adding infrastructure to serve all County residents and to attract high
paying industries ie., high speed internet, greater access to the Delmarva peninsula via air or rail, etc.
Attracting more college/university institutions to provide job training for future local high-tech industries.
Preserving historical and archeological assets.
Sussex2030's persistent focus will be on preserving the County’s natural assets and addressing traffic concerns.
