Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., announced today that a series of kick-off meetings are set for October to begin the work on updating the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Pollitt said, “Public participation is central to the success of this effort which is under the auspices of the Salisbury-Wicomico Planning, Zoning and Community Development Department. Each kick-off meeting will include a public workshop.”
The first two workshops will focus on rural issues surrounding County land preservation policies and rural village development. The first two meetings will be on the east and west side of Wicomico County, respectively. Issues will include development requirements in the agricultural zones, subdivision clustering and the overall size of the County’s rural and resource areas, sensitive area protection, rural village development, mineral resources, and waste treatment (septic) issues.

ReplyDeleteMaybe they should throw a class in on how to vote for referendums you dont understand so you just go out and vote yes to the tune of 73 % Hmmmmm Maybe just maybe the good folks of Wicomico County knew exactlt what they were voting for. Rick Pollitt continue to stand tall. F.O.P. Lodge 111 do the same. Granddad you know you have my vote as well as my family and yes we live in your district. As for the rest of the County Council I hope all the uneducated 73% that voted yes to Question A votes just as uneducated when they vote your sorry tails out of office. As all ways have a Delmarvalous Day !!! As for the deputys keep doing the great job that you do. Keep taking the risk knowing that you have no disbility insurance. There are those in this community that respect the work the Sheriff Lewis and his men and women do every day. I have looked at local departments and many of them have L.E.O.P.S. Maybe this would have all been a mute issue if the county had did what it could for the Sheriff's Office years ago. Mike lewis this job is yours as long as you want it do the right thing. This issue is costing all involved i have heard the figure of 66,000 spent by the county. Joe can you check this out for us. If it is true the lawyers in Baltimore are laughing all the way to the bank on boths sides.
