State funding for farmland preservation in Sussex County has remained flat. During a campaign, Jill Hicks noted that while transfer tax revenue to Dover has been growing, dollars sent back to Sussex for preservation have remained flat for decades.

Why it matters
Hicks stated that Sussex County Council needs more money from the state to address the rapid disappearance of working lands, including farmland, forests, and wetlands. The flat funding limits the county's ability to manage this growth and land loss.
