§ 4731. Declaration of purpose. The General Assembly declares the following to be the policy and purpose of this subchapter:  (1) The Fort DuPont Complex, located along the Delaware River adjacent to Delaware City, is currently underutilized but has enormous potential as a sustainable, mixed-use community; (2) To preserve and protect the historical and recreational amenities within the Fort DuPont Complex and to expand economic opportunities therein, additional capital will be required to improve infrastructure, renovate certain historic structures, and make additional improvements to said Complex; (3) Redevelopment and renovation of the Fort DuPont Complex is both desirable and necessary, provided that:  a. The Fort DuPont Complex will remain a public destination, with its historic, natural, and recreational resources maintained for public enjoyment; b. Fort DuPont's National Register status (where applicable) will be maintained, and historic building and landscape resources will be rehabilitated and reused to the extent possible; c. Redevelopment and infill will be concentrated within several defined areas, and will be complementary to existing historic buildings and landscapes; d. Fort DuPont and Delaware City will grow together as “one city” with strong physical and visual connections and complementary land uses; e. Diverse land and building uses will be supported at Fort DuPont to achieve a shared vision for a “live-work-learn-play-and-visit” community; and f. Community engagement will continue to be a key component for ongoing planning for Fort DuPont's future. (4) In light of the foregoing, it is in the best interest of the State to enable the creation of an entity to manage, oversee, and implement the redevelopment and preservation of the Fort DuPont Complex in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and the provisions of this subchapter.79 Del.
