The Sussex County $177 million spending plan for 2019 was unveiled yesterday.
It includes an additional 22 Delaware State troopers along with another $700-thousand for local fire company operations.
WBOC reports that the budget also includes $1.2 million for new internet expansion and another $1 million for land preservation.
There is also $2.4 million for infrastructure for the county’s Delaware Coastal Business Park.
The television station reports that County Administrator described the spending plan as doing “heavy lifting” to fund the general day-to-day coasts.
But, he added, it also provides for investment in the county’s future.
