How we use this land impacts the quality of our lives, the economy of our county and the 258 square miles of water within this county.
To help us understand the decision-making process of land use and the impact these decisions have on our county, the League of Women Voters of Sussex County is holding a series of public forums in 2009-2010.
The Sussex League is committed to presenting their public meetings in locations that are handicapped accessible with free parking nearby. This year the sessions will alternate between the McCurry Conference Room in the Medical Arts Building of the Beebe Health Campus on Route 24 and at a Georgetown location where County Council Chambers have been requested.
