ICYMI: Delaware has three more Downtown Development Districts

Claymont, Newport and Millsboro are Delaware’s three newest Downtown Development Districts, expanding the program to the full 15 districts allowed under state law. The Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues unanimously recommended the three communities for designation following the 2026 application process.

“The best investments we can make are in the communities, businesses and people already here in Delaware,” said Governor Matt Meyer. “Downtown Development Districts give communities another tool to create housing, support local businesses and bring new life to properties that have been overlooked or underused. By expanding this program to Claymont, Newport and Millsboro, we’re creating vibrant hubs in the communities Delawareans already call home and giving private investment a reason to follow.”
