GEORGETOWN — Sussex County Council has settled on new boundaries that will shape the representation of county government for the next 10 years.
At its Nov. 15 meeting, council unanimously adopted a redistricting ordinance and accompanying maps that establish new council districts through 2021 based on last year’s U.S. Census, which showed significant growth and shifts in the population from 2000 and 2010.
The five new districts will be used to determine residency and the areas represented by council, a five-member legislative body of county government whose members are elected from individual districts. Each member serves a four-year term.
