Construction Workers WANTED


If your looking for a job, Sussex County has some openings. The work will not be "fun" but will be rewarding.


The hole that Sussex County is in is getting deeper and several of our “leaders” are grabbing for the shovels and others are grabbing for the ladder. The only problem is that those digging are doing so at a pace that exceeds the capability of the ladder.
Tyler and Caple should be ashamed of their comments that were recently published in the Sussex Surry Dispatch. These just further support that they are living in a world all their own without a clue as to what it takes to allow Sussex to prosper and move into the 21st century providing real opportunities for the citizens. Oh they know (or are told by others what to know and say) what are the right words to use and comments to make that would find support among the non informed, non participatory portion of our society. Narrow minded leaders along with narrow minded citizens are creating a situation in our County that will make it nearly impossible to climb out of that hole WE yes WE dug.
Nothing is impossible, and the leaders and future leaders of our County must set aside personal agendas, personal differences, past “issues” and move on. Each one of us even if we do not inspire to become a member of the Board of Supervisors is a LEADER of Sussex County and MUST participate in the governmental process that so many folks gave their lives to make sure we have the right to do so.
If you think the tolls on I-95 or the 460 bypass are road blocks to the success and prosperity of our county THINK AGAN the biggest road block we have to that success and prosperity sits behind the table at the courthouse once every month.
Be part of the construction crew that will help Sussex County get out of that hole, fill it in with the past, and move towards a County that fulfills its posibilities.

I-95 NO TOLLS


SPEAK UP NOW against the proposed I-95 tolls. This issue is in fact one that the Sussex County Board of Supervisors all agree is NOT in our best interest. Thank You BOS for uniting on this important issue. You can work together, it should feel good in doing so! Thanks again!!! 




Truckers are hoping to steer support on the Internet to keep a toll plaza off Interstate 95, near Emporia. Several trucking associations started the online petition to keep the toll plaza off of I-95 in that area.
It includes the National Association of Truck Stop Operators, the American Trucking Association, and the Virginia Trucking Association. The organizations are against a proposal by VDOT to build a toll plaza in Sussex County between mile markers 20 and 24.
It would cost $4 for personal vehicles and $12 for trucks. There would also be a fee for exit and entrance ramps before and after the toll plaza.
Some of the reasons against the toll include claims that it's a waste of taxpayer money, it will work against businesses near the interstate, and it will cause a high volume of traffic in that area.
VDOT says the plan would bring in the millions of dollars needed for repairs to the well-traveled route
