Background (read more HERE) ~

Pamela Russac Pres Woodland Heights Civic Association and Chuck Stirk Pres Brookland Terrace Civic Club have been dealing with flooding caused by brush and trees down in NCC Woodland Run park that has gone multiple years with out clean up . 

We believe NCC sewer lines blowback in Woodland Park directly related to flooding in NCC Woodland Run park as the NCC Sewer lines run through the park and we have multiple reports of outflow from the manholes throughout the past weeks. 

........We feel for those in Woodland Park and would like to see the issues with sewer blowback resolved before situation is similar in our communities.

Hot Topic - Will Liquified Natural Gas and Other Flammable Hydrocarbons be Exported Via the Delaware River?

11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. Monday, August 24th

Zoom Web Conference

Register HERE

In June 2019 Delawareans learned that Governor Carney had joined other Governors on the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) in voting to allow Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other flammable hydrocarbons to be shipped out of a port in New Jersey and down the Delaware River. Many of us were surprised and dismayed with concerns about safety and effects on global warming. 

The DRBC will soon be re-voting on this issue. 

Many groups in other states are actively opposing the project. 

Learn what they are doing and what you can do. 

A representative from Delaware Riverkeeper will provide background and Coralie Pryde will discuss concerns particular to Delaware. An open discussion of possible actions will follow. 

Send any questions for the speakers to Coralie Pryde at lwvncc@comcast.net

Comprehensive Planning: An Educational Q and A For Local Advocates

5 - 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 27th

ZOOM and Facebook LIVE Meeting

RSVP HERE

Join this wonderful list of local advocates and organizations to learn more about the New Castle County Comprehensive Plan and how this document can make such a monumental impact on our daily lives in the future. Learn about what the Comprehensive Plan is, what it does, what it doesn't do, and how it can be used as a tool for justice and to build a better future, or a tool to continue the New Castle on the same path it has been on for the last 10 years. 

We need all advocates to be engaged in planning for the future of our state's largest county, but first, we need to educate ourselves and the public on the fundamentals. Expert speakers and decision-makers will be able to answer questions from the community and have an open dialogue about the importance of community engagement on this document.

Speakers will include staff from the Department of Land Use, the State Planning Office, and the Institute for Public Administration at the Biden School of Public Policy and Administration.

Community members and organizers from various groups will lead the conversation.

These organizations include: 

• Sierra Club Delaware Chapter
• Concerned Residents For Environmental Justice
• Rt Nine Civic Association
• Dunleith Civic Association
