PROJECT SUPPORT The financial support for the project comes from The Sussex Sports Center Foundation (SSCF). SSCF was incorporated in Delaware on January 24, 2017, as a non-profit, charitable entity under section 501(c) (3). The purpose was to decide if a sports complex could be designed and built on land on the east side of Georgetown and financed by tax deductible donations to the SSCF. The original plan was to build 8 athletic fields suitable for soccer, lacrosse and field hockey for use by some of the Sussex County’s youth sports clubs and a walking trail for the public. During the summer of 2017, we were approached by the First State Pickle Ball Club and asked to consider adding as many courts as possible. We were also approached by several physical education teachers/track and cross country coaches from Beacon Middle School, Sussex Central High School and Sussex Academy asking the SSCF to consider modifying the walking trail to also be a regulation 5K cross country course. SSCF had the land and financial resources to add these new features so the design was modified accordingly. Sandhill Fields construction was completed in the summer of 2020 at a cost of $5.3 million and opened to the public in September 2020. SSCF raised money from individuals/families ($3.8 million), the Sussex County business community, private foundations ($500,000), and public sources GOVERNANCE Being Governed by its By-Laws and controlled by its Board of Directors.
