Listening Campaign - 2009

County Executive Chris Coons, Council President Paul Clark, and members of County Council recently visited each of the 12 County Council districts in New Castle County as part of a countywide Listening Campaign.
 
Each session consisted of a presentation on County services and the financial challenges that lie ahead, followed by a group discussion.  County officials and representatives from each County department were present to answer questions.  The feedback officials received from the public helped shape the budget that the County Executive presented to Council on March 17, 2009. The budget address can be found on the County homepage.
