New Castle County has partnered with DNREC to perform a comprehensive evaluation of existing conditions and identify challenges and opportunities for increasing resilience to future flooding potential in Port Penn.
On November 17, 2015, we held the first public meeting and invited all residents of Port Penn to join us, share their concerns and hear plans for the study. Please open the documents on the right to view the presentation given, the Port Penn Flooding Mitigation Study - Existing Conditions Intermediate Submittal, and other related information.
Currently, infrastructure vulnerabilities are being catalogued and prioritized in order to develop mitigation options. A second public meeting was held in March, 2016, to present the final report and recommendations.
