I would like to thank all those who helped coordinate the peaceful protest in Georgetown on Sept. 21. The organizations Sussex2030, the Southern Sussex County Community Action Group (SSCCAG), the Fenwick Protection Project and Evans Farm Watch; members of other groups, including the Delaware Coalition for Open Government (DelCOG); and concerned residents from all over Sussex County were well-represented, with more than 150 people signing the contact list. The enthusiasm and energy for our pleas to our elected officials to stop development without proper planning was contagious.
Additionally, we would like to thank the officials of the town of Georgetown (Eugene Dvornick and Linda Zelo) for their gracious efforts in helping us get the necessary approvals to be present outside the County Administration Building, where County Council meets. From the time we were small children, my mother always said to us, “If you do nothing, expect nothing.” We collectively made our presence known to County Council members, and now, we can only hope that they heard our voices and will respond accordingly.
Let’s continue to think positively and keep our cause on the front burner!
