Wilmington 2028
A comprehensive plan and collective vision for the “It City next door”
Wilmington is a historic, diverse and unique city but also physically divided. In the last 20 years, Wilmington’s downtown and riverfront have been dramatically transformed but revitalization is uneven as other neighborhoods continue to exhibit high unemployment, persistent poverty, vacancy, and blight.
The Wilmington 2028 comprehensive plan aims to strengthen the link between resident opportunity, neighborhood health, and economic development, paving the way for coordinated investment for a more integrated and competitive city. The plan helps to coordinate existing work and momentum in the city, and helps residents see the city in a new light.
