As part of the new Comprehensive Plan, the Levy Court has acknowledged that Master Plans are necessary for the Little Heaven Employment Center and South Frederica Area.  We held public workshops at the Frederica Fire Hall on October 29th and 30th for each of these areas to gather input from residents, state agencies, and other community stakeholders. 

Thanks to all that attended!

Vision Statement

To preserve the rural and community character of Kent County by encouraging the most appropriate use of land, water, and other resources that protects the County's natural, historic, and cultural resources, allows for economic opportunity, preserves farmland, manages growth, and provides a safe sustainable environment in which all citizens may live, work, shop, learn, and play.

Industrial Areas

The 2007 Comprehensive Plan designates potential areas for larger scale economic development.  The following are the indentified areas:

Clayton

West Cheswold

North Dover

West Frederica

West Milford

South Harrington

Farmington

Commercial Areas

The 2007 plan also identified areas that would be appropriate for increased commercial uses.  This following map identifies areas around the county that may be able to handle more commercial activity.  It recommends a maximum amount of new zoning acreage within the time between comprehensive plan updates.
