The following letter was sent to the Sussex County Planning and Zoning Commission and DelDOT Community Relations with a copy sent to the Cape Gazette for publication.
I am writing concerning the infrastructure improvements associated with the newly approved Tower Hill subdivision, specifically regarding the absence of any guarantee on the part of the property developer to contribute funds to needed projects on New Road. While there will be contributions to projects on the edges of the New Road area (the connection of Old Orchard Road with Wescoats Road and the Nassau interchange), absent are any contributions to essential off-site functions directly along the New Road route, which have been endorsed by the 2019 New Road Corridor Master Plan.

On behalf of the board of the History Book Festival, we extend our sincere gratitude to all those who helped to make the 2020 virtual festival, Bring History Home, a resounding success!
The festival began in 2017 as a two-day event welcoming 20 authors of historical fiction and nonfiction to Lewes.
Over the next two years, it grew to become a multi-day series of author presentations that encompassed partnerships with other community groups and author visits to Sussex County schools.
We expected to present a 2020 in-person festival, but then the pandemic upended all our lives. Hosting authors online seemed our best option, but when we kicked off the Virtual History Book Festival in June, we had no idea how it would be received.

Kristen and Dan Gonzalez of Mount Arlington, New Jersey often visit family in Lewes. They have high hopes of one day being able to relocate to Lewes; until then reading the Cape Gazette keeps them connected to the finer things in life that Cape Region has to offer.
Kristen & Dan recently took a road trip to Portland & Bar Harbor, Maine with their dog, Gordon. The road trip was recommended by Kristen’s sister, Katie Tomlinson & her husband, Matt Latimer, who took the same trip back in July. Katie & Matt’s only advice to Kristen & Dan before hitting the road was, don’t forget to take the Cape Gazette!
