GEORGETOWN — At least one Sussex County councilman wants to amend the performance bond process that ensures developers finish infrastructure work and amenities.
At the Nov. 1 meeting, Councilman Sam Wilson, R-Georgetown, introduced an ordinance that would allow developers to construct improvements without a bond under the condition that no building permits or property transfers be issued until all work was completed. In addition, if a developer had completed only part of the improvements, they would have the option to obtain bonding to complete the work so lots could be sold and building permits issued.
When times were good, builders were screwing people right and left, now they want to use the recession to make it even easier to rip people off.
