About the draft NCC@2050 Plan

This is what readers will see in the draft plan:

• an introductory overview of the process;
• plan priorities, including a detailed listing of strategies for action;
• the draft future land use map and other associated maps;
• background on the conditions of New Castle County and analysis that informed this planning effort; and
• summaries of the extensive public engagement efforts.
• Some components of the draft are more specific and fully developed than others, especially the case in Chapter B (Plan Priorities and Signature Strategies) and Chapter C (Future Land Use and Implementation). Additional details will be added over the coming months.
• The draft is the result of 11 public meetings, dozens of community and stakeholder meetings, and thousands of website and web survey interactions.

And from MOT Alliance:  

ACTION NEEDED! If you have just five minutes before December 15th, please use this link to submit feedback on NCC’s proposed $30 million affordable housing fund.  

Write just a few sentences in YOUR OWN words of how you’d like to see such a program operate as building occurs in MOT.  

Remember: MOT Alliance represents RESPONSIBLE growth and development, and some of that growth will be affordable housing. Let’s define for our government officials what RESPONSIBLITY they have to make sure that growth promotes quality of life for ALL MOT RESIDENTS. Policies should not incentivize developers unless NCC ensures infrastructure is in place (services like public transit, job accessibility, health and emergency services, etc). Do not copy/paste this text in your submission but use it to influence your own words. Messages that convey racism, classism, and other stereotypes are not tolerated and do not reflect our mission.
