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

Zoom Web Conference

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

LWVNCC: Navigating New Castle County's Comp Plan Update ZOOM Program, 1PM May 26th (RSVP)

League of Woman Voters of New Castle County present - 

Navigating New Castle County's Comp Plan Update

The League of Women Voters of New Castle County Land Use/Transportation Committee invites you to its online meeting on May 26, 2020 at 1 pm.  Mike Hoffman from Tarabiscos Grosso LLP to discuss the NCC Comprehensive Development Plan and the Unified Development Code. 

The Land Use Department of New Castle County is gearing up to present its draft Comprehensive Development Plan (Comp Plan) update. By law, the Comp Plan has to be updated every 10 years. 

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED; use the zoom registration link at the bottom of this event. 

Questions this meeting will cover...

• What is the Comp Plan, and how does it relate to the Unified Development Code (UDC) for the County? 

• Word on the street is that our UDC encourages sprawl. Could this be true? If so, what changes can we make to the new Comp Plan to put a stop to that practice? 

• What other changes will we want to support as we review the new Comp Plan update? 

• What are the political realities involved in passing a new Comp Plan update?

We are happy to invite you to a Zoom meeting with the knowledgeable Michael Hoffman, of Tarabicos Grosso, LLP, (law firm of Larry Tarabicos that does a lot of land use work). Mike will join us on Tuesday, May 26th, 1-2:30 pm, via Zoom. His comments will be followed by a question and answer session.
