Johnson’s Term on Sussex Planning Commission Expires

GEORGETOWN, DE — Although Mike Johnson has been elected vice chairman of the Sussex County Planning and Zoning Commission, his term expired June 30, and county council has not reappointed him.

Johnson, who lives in Georgetown and represents District 2, was first appointed to the commission in 2005. District 2 Councilman Sam Wilson, R-Georgetown, said he has not made up his mind on Johnson’s re-nomination. “I want to wait awhile to make my decision, and in the meantime he can still serve,” Wilson said. “I want to do what is best for the public.”

Known for his colorful post-it-notes containing comments and questions attached to public hearing documents, Johnson is considered one of the most dedicated commission members.

Johnson is assigned applications in the Georgetown area and in the Cape Region, where most of the development has occurred since 2005.
