Citizens to Preserve Dewey is an independent, all volunteer group of concerned Dewey Beach Residents, Property & Business Owners. We recently organized this group to better serve the people of Dewey Beach with candidates who will represent the voters along with honest accurate information.

The majority of voters in Dewey Beach support maintaining the current 35-foot height limit and the ordinance against hotels. The Citizens to Preserve Dewey has collected over 800 petitions in just one week requesting a referendum to maintain the 35-foot height limit, yet Commissioners Walsh and Eisenhauer voted against a referendum and Cooke abstained, essentially killing the referendum. Making drastic changes to our zoning code is a major decision. We feel that breaching our current height limit would be setting a very dangerous precedent that will affect our town permanently and the people should have a voice in this decision.
