2018 Comp Plan-Public Input from Website 2018 Comprehensive Plan--Comments received from the Website Capital Improvement Plan Comment 1 - September 6, 2016 Comment 2 - September 8, 2016 What is the status of the 23 ordinance changes called for on page 2-10 of the current Sussex County Comprehensive Plan approved in June 2008? Has sufficient progress been made to show this was a meaningful plan developed to be implemented rather than one developed to meet a requirement and then sit on a shelf until the next required plan is developed and ignored? Comment 3 - September 19, 2016 Maximizing Sewer Infrastructure Use The County, in an effort to maximize sewer infrastructure use and limit the need for duplicate infrastructure is leading an initiative to develop shared use agreements between the County, Municipalities and Private Providers. The agreements can be two or three party agreements allowing each party to send flow to the others facilities using the same infrastructure. This would eliminate the need for duplication of sewer infrastructure lines in the same locations, increase efficiencies and reduce costs to the consumers. Comment 4 - September 26, 2016 My background is in economics, and specifically development economics. For years, I worked with engineers and regional authorities to develop transport plans for their communities and regions and would like to know whether the Commission might use my expertise. Comment 5 - September 26, 2016 when planning new residential development require builders to build roads to state standards Comment 6 - September 28, 2016 In reviewing the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, I did not see any significant references or actions addressing Global Warming and Sea Water Rise. I am willing to assist the county in any way possible to address the concerns. Comment 7 - October 3, 2016 Fred Hudson Highway is a very busy road. Bikers, walkers and runners use a lovely path that ends at McCoys Way that parallels the Highway. Heading east from that point is dangerous due to the lack of a paved path. We would like to see the addition of a paved path on this stretch of Fred Hudson Highway included in the Comprehensive Plan. Comment 8 - October 10, 2016 1. Set up a Sussex County Parks Department and start spending more county funds on purchase of land for County Parks and Open space as in Kent and New Castle County DE. 2. Invest County funds received from real estate transfer taxes for purchase of open space, ag land preservation, recreation and conservation. 3. The state does not have enough money to improve our roads, Sussex County has a surplus from the real estate boom it is now experiencing. With so many people moving here for lower taxes how will you supply services needed unless you use County funds to pay for services usually provided by the state. The huge imbalance between state income and County income needs to be addressed. 3. A good place to start would be to set up a County parks department with funds to purchase land for parks while it is still available. Our road need the same attention. 4. Unfortunately, a Transportation Improvement Distirct will not solve this problem either as DELDOT and the County have an incentive within the TID to increase density. The more units per acre approved the more money DelDOT gets to build roads. This will only exacerbate the problem we already have of too much congestion on roads. Instead the TID needs to protect areas in need of conservation to mitigate the flooding we are now experiencing along our waterways Stormwater drainage is also grossly inadequate as evidenced during the recent flooding. Stormwater drainage regulations need to be greatly improved and our Conservation district needs to be expanded and funded so that they can enforce the regulations. Regulations without enforcement do little good. Comment 9 - October 12, 2016 I would like to see a community rec center like Kent County has. I currently visit the new center in Dover about once a month to play pickleball and it would be good for our community to have something like this Thanks Comment 10 - October 12, 2016 Sussex County needs an indoor recreation center such as the one located in Kent County. We have a lot of pickleball players who would utilize the center. Comment 11 - October 13, 2016 Given rise in popularity of pickleball in our area we need a recreational center in Eastern Sussex which will all for play all year round. Comment 12 - October 26, 2016 I can't find the survey. Please advise. Comment 13 - October 26, 2016 Need to wide Rt 26 to 4 lanes Canals in South Bethany need to be dredge ASAP City roads need to be checked for flooding and resurfaced if needed. Comment 14 - October 27, 2016 As you approve plans for large and small developments, you must, I repeat, must, charge the developers not only for the costs for roads, sewage and water in their developments, but for the impact they will have throughout the county and state with additional traffic and drain on our utilities. They must pay for State and County Highways expansion and upkeep, as well as the added need for schools, fire departments, police, etc. It is essential that you do this and not allow them to build house and roads in their subdivisions and leave everything else for us citizens to pay for. Property tax alone on the new houses will be insufficient. New and improved roads and schools paid for by bonds lets the developers off the hook and all of us residents hooked into paying for costs we had no say so in approving. Do your job and charge them for the costs up front and spare us the burden. Comment 15 - October 27, 2016 As residents in the Cat Hill community of South Bethany, my wife and I have seen increasing cut-through traffic through our small residential streets. these streets were never designed to carry so much traffic. It has become a danger to pedestrians and bicyclists. In fact, in just a 1 year period recently, there were 5 near-misses of vehicles hitting pedestrians, including 2 small children. The town and DELDOT are aware of these incidents. road plans need to be implemented to divert this ever-increasing traffic from our community. Allowing future building without improving road infrastructure is irresponsible for the health and well-being of its citizens. Comment 16 - October 29, 2016 I am concerned about: Residential Development o Large-scale, 5,000+ housing units are being approved within 5-10 miles of South Bethany? o Approvals made without requiring comprehensive infrastructure (e.g., roads) improvements? o Building moratorium(s) necessary to curb the growing traffic problems and achievement of development alignment with the infrastructure? Commercial Development o More unplanned runaway Route 1s, like in Rehoboth and Lewes? Water Quality o Dredging/maintaining back bay waterways surrounding South Bethany? o Aquiculture, clean rivers and bay waters, agriculture and non-point specific pollution/runoff from farms, commercial and housing areas? Traffic / Roads o Traffic studies needed so new subdivisions and commercial growth and areas are in sync with road development, maintenance and other infrastructure? o Right sizing roadways: Routes 54 and 26 -- why only expanded to three lanes? Comment 17 - November 20, 2016 I our 'Refuge' HOA meeting yesterday, and found out the need to beg the government for more monies to build a better instra-structure (widening roads, providing emergency evacuation routes, limiting building etc.) in light of all the building that was going on. It's a perfect storm, and something has to be done about it soon. Comment 18 - November 23, 2016 Comment 19 - December 1, 2016 I wish I knew what the people here are thinking about with all the development along Rt 54 and 26. The amount of homes being built is crazy without any infrastructure to support growth. Any summer you can how land locked it can be. With the homes being built and more families moving into the area, it's going to be summer traffic in the middle of winter. Stop the growth or build new roads!!!! Comment 20 - December 5, 2016 My concern is with the comprehensive infrastructure plan for Sussex Co. The roads we currently have are not able to handle the traffic that has increased due to the housing market boom. It can easily take 30 min. to take a 4 mile trip to the beach from my neighborhood during the summer. Road usage needs to be studied and addressed before any new housing project permits are issued. The county can't go on issuing permit after permit for huge housing developments without studying the impact on out roads and traffic. Additionally we are lacking in good health care providers to take care of the increasing number of new residents. We need to find a way to recruit professionals to the area. Comment 21 - December 8, 2016 Sussex County should pass an adequate public facilities ordinance to give the county more clout when it comes to requiring developers to provide road improvements. Both New Castle and Kent counties have these ordinances in place. Comment 22 - December 8, 2016 Sussex County should adopt an adequate public facilities ordinance. Comment 23 - January 24, 2017 Comment 24 - March 7, 2017 Please strive to retain existing forested canopies and understories. Comment 25 - March 13, 2017 Allocated land about two to three acres A building with HVAC, great lighting, bathrooms existing or renovated Fee schedule to cover costs of running the facility at reasonable rates for seniors and families. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, especially among the 55+ age group, and there has been an explosive growth of Pickleball Players in Sussex County.

  • Delaware Agricultural Statistics Service, for His Hard Work in Designing, Implementing, Evaluating This Study and Preparing It for Publication
    Dear Friend of Delaware Agriculture: I am very pleased and proud to present the results of the 2004 Delaware Equine Study, the first ever comprehensive study of this important segment of our agricultural industry. I want to thank Governor Ruth Ann Minner, the Delaware General Assembly, the racing commissions, and the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund for providing the funding for this project. I also want to thank the Delaware Equine Council for their help and each and every person who voluntarily participated in this very important study. As clearly shown by the numbers contained within this report, the equine industry’s importance to Delaware’s economy is significant and growing. In addition to the expenditures Delaware equine owners and operations make into the state economy, our racetracks, equine show and competition facilities, breeding, training, and boarding operations attract thousands from outside of Delaware who also expend significantly into our state economy. Not only does the industry directly provide jobs for thousands of Delawareans, but also indirectly through expenditures made for feed and bedding, veterinarian services, equipment, grooming and tack supplies, maintenance and repair and other sectors of the industry’s infrastructure. Equine and equine operations make significant contributions to the quality of life in Delaware by keeping land in open space, and providing a wide diversity of recreational activities available to the general public. As spectators or participants, countless Delawareans enjoy equine racing, shows and competitions, pony rides, trail and pleasure riding, and much more. For many, the view of Delaware from atop a horse is the best one. I know firsthand how important equines are and have been socially and recreationally to my family and to the quality of life of many others in Delaware.

All export figures refer to merchandise exports, which consist of manufactures, agricultural and livestock products, and other commodities. Except where otherwise noted, export figures are calculated based on the location of exporter, which is not necessarily the same as the location of producer. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY TO ALABAMA Over the past several decades, growth in international trade has become increasingly important to the U.S. economy. During that period, Asia has emerged as a leading market for U.S. products. Today, exports to Asia account for 30 percent of all U.S. exports; agricultural exports to Asia constitute 40 percent of all U.S. agricultural exports. Similarly, over the same period of time the economy of Alabama has forged close ties with the economies of Asia. · Alabama exported $867 million of merchandise to Asia in 1997. These exports accounted for 19 percent of the state’s total merchandise exports. · Exports have been an important vehicle of growth for Alabama. Between 1993 and 1997, the state’s exports to Asia increased by 31 percent. · Several of the state’s key sectors depend on the health of Asian economies. For example, the paper products sector was responsible for $191 million, or 22 percent, of the state’s exports to Asia in 1997. · The industrial machinery and computer industry accounted for $178 million, or 21 percent, of the state’s exports to Asia in 1997.
