Downtown Development Districts Act/Expand

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act builds on the success of the Downtown Development Districts Act, Chapter 19 of Title 22 of the Delaware Code, by permitting a municipality with a population of 30,000 or more in the 2020 federal census, which includes Wilmington, Dover, and Newark, to designate an area in the municipality as a "Downtown Development Corridor". This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
