Show Notes
The Sussex County Conservation District is seeking a significant budget increase for fiscal year 2027, with a proposed $640,000 contribution, a 79% jump from their current $350,000. This additional funding would support key programs like tax ditch maintenance, cover crops, and stormwater management, as well as initiate winter storm drain cleanups. The district boasts impressive results, including approving 1,400 acres for proper drainage in 2025 and a steady growth in their cover crop program, with enrollment and planting doubling from 2016 to 2026. However, with tight county tax dollars, County Council will need to carefully consider this request over the next few months.
