Welcome to the
Sussex County Open Space Coalition (SCOSC) website. SCOSC was founded by a group of residents in The Glade
community in Rehoboth dedicated to stopping development of protected Open Space. Since the inception of the Delaware Open
Space program in 1990, over 55,000 acres of land has been purchased with tax dollars for preservation in perpetuity. Unfortunately,
these valuable lands are still at risk for development. Backdoor politics and private interest groups pose an ever present threat
that results in attempts to carve up the Open Space land into parcels for development.
