There is a new coffee/sandwich/soup/bakery shop in downtown Georgetown. It is located on Market Street directly across from the courthouse. If you "like" them on Facebook, you will receive the daily specials. I have tried the chicken salad sandwich with dried cranberries and a couple of the pastries and a biscotti. All were very good. The service is freindly and quick. They have an artist's display of paintings on the wall. One is very vibrant and colorful of koi fish. Stop in an try this shop out    09/02/2012

The Nov 10th Sussex County Council meeting accepted a consultant's recommendation to use a federal grant of $648,000 to install over 400 solar panels for Sussex County's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The panels will draw on sunlight and convert the energy into electricity. The power produced will help power the 911 center and the residual power can be sold back to the local electrical grid. This project will result in an annual electric cost savings to the county of more than $12,000. It is expected to generate $30,000 annually in new revenue and will receive a one-time state rebate of more than $200,000 for adopting the technology. Sussex County stands to earn as much as $1.3 million in revenue over the next 25 years by using the grant for solar technology. The initial grant of $4... 12/02/2009
