Rehoboth Beach, Del., Aug. 1, 2025 – County Councilwoman Jane Gruenebaum will be the guest speaker at the August 13 meeting of the 14th Representative District Democratic Committee. The program will begin at 5 p.m. with a Dutch-treat dinner at Iron Hill Brewery, on Route 1 north of Rehoboth Beach, followed by Gruenebaum’s remarks at 6:00, and committee business at 6:30.

Gruenebaum, a first-term representative for District 3, will discuss the council’s latest actions, including new recommendations under consideration by its land-use working group to deal with development, affordable housing and infrastructure issues. The founding president of the Sussex Preservation Coalition, she ran for office because of her concern over the impact of sprawl on the environment, traffic and life in the county.

Her district covers the Delaware Bay and Atlantic coastal communities, including Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach in the 14th RD.
