Seaford Golf Course To Be Named Hooper's LandingThe golf course recently acquired by the City of Seaford will be named Hooper's Landing. The City's Mayor, Council and Management collectively came up with potential names for the course; the final consensus was to call it Hooper's Landing. The name Hooper's Landing is derived from Seaford's history. Until 1799, when Seaford was laid out, the area was known as Hooper's Landing. It wasn't until 1865, that Seaford became incorporated. This aspect of our history is depicted and memorialized in the official City Seal: the ship represents our previous name and also the shipping industry along the Nanticoke River. One of many motivating factors for the purchase of 1001 Locust Street was the preservation of a historical landmark within our community. Certainly, it seemed most fitting to honor our heritage by naming the course Hooper's Landing. |

Electric Department Receives National RecognitionWASHINGTON, D.C., March 29, 2010-The City of Seaford Electric Department is one of 94 of the nation's more than 2,000 public power utilities to earn Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3®) recognition from the American Public Power Association for providing consumers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service. Paul Allen, vice president, engineering at Nashville, Tenn., Electric Service and chair of APPA's RP3 Review Panel, presented the designees on March 29, during the association's annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference, held in Omaha, Nebraska. "The RP3 designation represents a high level of service to communities all over the country," said Allen, "These 94 utilities stand out as models of safe and reliable utility operations." The RP3 recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement. Criteria within each category are based on sound business practices and represent a utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity. "We're honored to receive our RP3 designation," said Rick Garner, Director of Power for the City of Seaford. "Our utility staff puts in a lot of hard work to provide reliable and safe service to our community. RP3 is a much appreciated recognition of this hard work." This is the fifth year that RP3 recognition has been offered. APPA is the national organization representing more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community- and state- owned electric utilities. It is located in Washington, D.C. RP3® is a registered service mark of APPA. |

Applications now accepted for the Voluntary Green Energy Block ProgramThe City of Seaford is accepting applications from our customers for the voluntarily purchase of green energy blocks at competitive rates for the next planning period of June 1, 2010 - May 31, 2011. The green energy blocks are generated from non-carbon based, qualifying renewable resources. By subscribing to this program, you will be helping to improve the environment by reducing pollution and consumption of non-renewable resources. For this fifth subscription year, we are again offering subscriptions in 100 kWh blocks at a premium price of $0.21 per block each month for a one year period. Please note this is an additional cost to your current energy usage costs. The amount of green energy blocks are limited and will be awarded on a first-come first-serve basis. As this program continues to evolve, we will adjust the amount of green energy subscriptions available based on the demand from customers for green energy. If subscriptions exceed available green power, those who do not receive green energy blocks this year will be placed on a priority list for next year.

City of Seaford Adjusts Fees For Economic DevelopmentThe Mayor and Council have approved certain fee reductions for calendar year 2010, as an incentive to development for the purpose of creating jobs in our City.Council approved the Economic Development Committe's recommendation for fee changes to the Water Capacity Charge, Down Stream Sewer Assessment, and Electric System Cost Recovery Fee at their regular meeting of November 10, 2009. What has been stated is, with the current economic environment, businesses and developers find the fees too high to be able to move their project forward. We have listened and taken action to move projects into construction. In addition we do have a Reinvestment Incentive Ordinance that can be implemented for jobs creation dependent on meeting the criteria. If you have a project ready to go and would like to meet with the City to review the impact of these fee reductions and the Reinvestment Incentive Ordinance then please contact Trisha Newcomer, Economic Development Manager or myself at 302-629-9173 and we will have the right members of staff and management meet with you. You can save in your fees and use the funds towards your expansion, new business, new residence, or renovations. So now is the time to act. This reduction starts January 1, 2010 and ends on December 31, 2010. Your project will have to be in the construction phase to take advantage of these reductions. Dolores J. Slatcher, City Manager |
