Healthy and vibrant downtowns are critical components of Delaware's economic well-being and quality of life. The purpose of this chapter is to leverage the resources of state government in a limited number of designated areas in Delaware's cities, towns, and unincorporated areas in a multifaceted effort to: (1) Spur private capital investment in commercial business districts and surrounding neighborhoods; (2) Stimulate job growth and improve the commercial vitality of such districts and neighborhoods; (3) Help build a stable community of long-term residents in such districts and neighborhoods by improving housing opportunities for persons of all incomes and backgrounds; increasing homeownership rates; building a diverse array of successful businesses; and reducing the number of vacant houses; and (4) Help strengthen neighborhoods, while harnessing the attraction that vibrant downtowns hold for talented young people, innovative small businesses, and residents from all walks of life.
