Community Planning

Planning Partnerships

New Castle County partners with other governments, agencies and local communities to encourage efforts that build stronger communities.  One of the most active partners in community planning is WILMAPCO (Wilmington Area Planning Council), which displays community plans on their website.  To view these plans, visit www.wilmapco.org and select "Plans and Reports" from the links at the top of the page.

The C & D Canal Recreation Study

The goal of the C&D Canal Recreation Study is to investigate potential future recreational usage of the C&D Canal and compile a final report with recommendations for implementation. Overall the goal is to enhance recreational uses including hunting, fishing, bicycling, hiking, birdwatching and other popular forms of outdoor recreation. To view current information on this joint effort with the State and Federal governments, visit the Army Corps of Engineers webpage at http://www.nap.usace.army.mil/Projects/CD/index.htm
