Friends and neighbors,

I’m writing to make sure that you know about an upcoming community meeting that I am co-hosting with Representative Melissa Minor-Brown.This community meeting is being held in cooperation of the Mayor and Council of the City of New Castle.

We invite you to join us on Monday, November 6 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at the New Castle Elementary auditorium (903 Delaware St, New Castle, DE 19720) to learn more about emergency preparedness in case of a railroad incident.

During the meeting there will be a presentation from New Castle County’s Emergency Planner, Chris Hodgden and Lydia McPherson-Shambarger from Norfolk Southern.

We will also be joined by Chief of Police Richard McCabe, Chief of Goodwill Fire Company David Majewski, DNREC Emergency Response Chief Matt Higgins — as well as representatives from Delaware Emergency Management Agency and the Division of Public Health.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, community concerns, or just to say hi. I can be reached by email at nicole.poore@delaware.gov, on Facebook, or by calling my Senate office at (302) 744-4164.

Sincerely,
