February, as it is wont to do, is flying by. But as it flaps its wings in this cold, heavy polar vortex air, here are some of the changes and improvements readers may see at the many state parks in Sussex County when weather warms.
Thanks to Shauna McVey, spokesperson for the Delaware Division of Parks, for tracking down this information and making my job easier.
“We have the following projects that were recently or will be completed for the summer season,” wrote Shauna in an email.

Given a choice, eight out of 10 people surveyed in the Delaware beach community prefer a proposed offshore wind project be moved farther offshore. They also prefer power lines from the projects not come ashore in a Delaware state park.
Our survey of 35,000 property owners within three miles of the beach showed 85 percent opposed to visible turbines. Responses to a state park survey on how to spend some money in Fenwick Island State Park didn’t ask about opposition to the wind project. However, over 700 people gave an opinion in the comments section and 80 percent of those opinions were opposed. Incidentally, we had to make a Freedom of Information Act request to the state to get the state park survey results. The state used the pandemic as an excuse to delay the release of the survey results, which suddenly were sent the day after the developer dropped the request to use the park in Fenwick Island as the pandemic continued.

ON THE MARK
•The Maryland General Assembly did approve tougher enhancements to the special event zone for Ocean City. It’s a matter of perspective, but I would opine the stricter measures were a success with the pop-up vehicle gathering at the end of September.
•Sunfest was bumped back into the calendar year because of a date conflict with the pop-up vehicle rally. The annual fall event was ultimately canceled due to the pandemic, however.
•Gee Williams was challenged in a re-election bid for Berlin mayor by Zack Tyndall as I predicted. However, there were also three other challengers in the race, which was won handily by Tyndall.
