Comprehensive Planning: An Educational Q and A For Local Advocates VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING 5PM Thursday August 27th Submit Questions NOW!

An invitation from the Civic League for New Castle County and Delaware Sierra Club ~

Comprehensive Planning: An Educational Q and A For Local Advocates

5 - 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 27th
ZOOM and Facebook LIVE Meeting

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
  • Community Benefits Agreement Coalition
  • Claymont Citizens Environmental Group
  • New Castle County Prevention Coalition
  • Civic League for New Castle County
You must RSVP to join the Zoom call, but you can also watch online at Facebook.com/desierraclub. This meeting will be recorded for those unable to make it, and you can submit your questions online before the event here: https://forms.gle/KeyWvotnDuJNtnFc7
