ByJoeConaway Chairman,SEDAC

Let’stalkdoctorsandhousing.

It’sbeenawhilesinceIhavewritten aboutSEDAC(SussexEconomicDevelopmentActionCommittee),but afterthesecommentsyouallmaybe happythatIhavenotwritten.

Thereareanumberofissuesthat SEDAChasbeeninvolvedwithsince mylastcolumnTwoissueshaveparticularlybeenonouragenda.

First,let’stalkaboutbuildingamedicalschoolinSussexCounty.Thefinal reporthasbeendeliveredtoourcommittee.Thereportcanbefoundonour website,www.sedac-de.org.

Again,letmethankallthedonors whohaveprovidedthefirststepindecidingwhetheramedicalschoolinSussexCountyispossible.Thesedonors includeSussexCountyCouncil,HighmarkBlueCrossBlueShieldBlueprints Grant,Christian&JulieHudsonFamilyFoundation,theFreemanFoundation,DelawareElectricCooperative, ChesapeakeUtilities,FultonBank,Bay Health, BeebeHealthCare,Tidal Healthand,ofcourse,SEDACitself.

Iwanttoespeciallythankourmedicalschoolcommittee.Thesefolksare allvolunteersandspenthoursworking withtheinternationallyknownconsultant,Tripp-Umbach,aswellastheSussexCountymedicalcommunity.

Thesecondissueishousing.Inreality,everyissueinSussexcomesbackto housing.Youcan’tkeepouryoungpeoplehereorbringnewindustrytoSussex withouthousing.Towardthatend, SEDAChascreatedtwohousingcommittees—onetodealwithaffordable housingandthesecondtodealwith workforcehousing.

Webelievethataffordablehousing needsalargeincreaseingovernment andprivatefundsandthatthereareexistingagenciesandnot-for-profitorganizationsthataredoingthejobnow. Theyallneedmoremoneyandlessgovernmentinterference,andourcommitteewillworktodevelopsome recommendationsthatwillhelpwith these programs.

Oursecondgroupisfocusedon workforcehousing.Ouryoungpeople whowanttostayinSussexCountyand thosewhowishtoworkheremusthavea placetocalltheirownand,yes,ithasto beclosetowheretheywork.Twomajor problemsstandintheirway:thecostof housing,andgovernmentfeesandregulations.Governmentfeesandtimedelays addthousandstothecostofahome. Zoningregulationsmustbedeveloped thatallowforincreaseddensityifthereis tobeanyhopeformorehomes.

The GeneralAssemblyhasintroducedsevenbillsthataffecthousing, butthisisjustastart.Noneofthem correcttheproblem,buttheyare,at

least,astart.Letmegiveanexampleof howeventhebestattemptstocorrect thisproblemcangoawry.SB22proposesanewhousingprogrambutitis limitedtotheState’sLevel1and2 areas,whicharethemostexpensiveland costsinthestate.Youthinkthatwill solveanyproblems?

WehavecommunicatedSEDAC’s concernstotheSussexdelegation,and weincludedarecommendationthatwill helpwiththecostofanyproposedlegislationthatdealswithlandregulation. Verysimply,wehavesuggestedthatany pieceoflegislationdealingwiththis topichaveafiscalnoteattachedthat clearlyandaccuratelyspellsouttheadditionalcoststhat,ifpassed,willaddto thepriceofahome.

Surprisingly,therehasbeennoaction onthissuggestionasofyet.Theonly solutionsthatIhaveheardfromare those thatopposegrowthistoincrease thesizeofthebuffers,notinmyback yard,andplantmoretrees.Ihaveyetto hearasuggestionaboutincreasing housingavailabilitiesinallareasofSussex.

ARBOR-LYN IS MORE THAN JUST HOME.

Locals who live and work in Rehoboth Beach sure know a good thing when they see it, which is why Ashlee and Andrew Martinelli, owner of Helios, a popular family-owned sunglass store, chose Arbor-Lyn. This community checked all the boxes for its' sought-after zip code, proximity to downtown Rehoboth, ample amenities, energy-e cient Schell homes and close-knit community feel.

Building our home was a breeze. From start to finish, it was easy to see the level of care Schell has for each customer. They truly made our full-time transition to the area fun and enjoyable.

Before we moved in, we met our future neighbors—who are now our good friends—at community happy hours, so that added to the excitement of our closing date. Arbor-Lyn is more than just a home for us. We are especially grateful for our community and the new friends we’ve made here.

WILL YOUR PLAN WORK?

WillyourPowerofAttorney actuallydoitsjob?

Every week we see Powers of Attorney that have sections omitted, crossed through, or left blank. Worse yet, they don’t name the right people for the job. The worst conversations we have are explaining that a Power of Attorney is insufficient, and we can’t move forward with the recommended planning strategies during incapacity. Contact us to ensure your estate plan will do its job.
