We hope you will register to attend our January 14 membership lunch meeting. Plan to arrive early (11:15) to get the most out of a great networking opportunity! We look forward to having County Executive Marcus Henry join us to speak to you about the status of the New Castle County reassessments, especially as it pertains to commercial (non-residential) split school taxes, the appeals process, what the County is doing to assist you, and more. He will address your questions as well.
