The Frankel Plan
George's policy plans focus on enhancing community resources, improving public safety, increasing transparency, supporting vulnerable populations, and strengthening essential services. Through implementation of the below projects we aim to create a safer, more informed, and more resilient community.
Zoning
Increase public input and transparency by adding an opt-in text message program. Once registered, any resident who lives within a 1/4 mile of a property undergoing re-zoning will receive a text listing the TIME, DATE, and LOCATION of the meeting where this new zoning will be discussed.
Emergency Services
We must increase our support for fire and EMS services. They are majorly short-staffed, and all that the county can do to support wage and benefit increases to help retain and recruit both volunteer and paid fire and EMS staff is crucial to keeping our county safe. Additionally, we can enhance public safety by expanding on the City of Wilmington’s anonymous footage submission system, wilmingtonde.gov/footage.
Reassessment
Create a one-time property tax credit for seniors who see a spike in their property taxes as a result of the looming fall reassessment, the first since 1982.
Libraries
Create a cooperative afterschool tutoring program between our 6 school districts and 15 county libraries. Use the resources at our county libraries to help our reading proficiency crisis (we are 49th in the nation in reading proficiency).
Land Use
We should make creative use of public land to revitalize these assets for increased benefit to the citizens of New Castle County.
