We agree with Governor Markell

Governor Markell focused on the effectiveness of the Downtown Development Districts throughout the state in his most recent weekly address.

In speaking for all of Downtown Visions, I can tell you that the focus of this program is spot on. We are proud to work with city and state officials to encourage more investment and participation in our downtown districts.

Governor Markell accurately states, “By incentivizing development in our downtowns, we’ll strengthen our economy and revitalize our neighborhoods and that will keep Delaware moving forward. “

We couldn't agree more.

Downtown Business featured in Delaware Today

I am incredibly proud when I see our Downtown Businesses getting much deserved recognition in local media.

Tynisha Lomax opened Levitea at the corner of 9th and Tatnall Streets just a couple of months ago. The shop features more than 70 specialty teas, some great food, and a wonderful atmosphere for meeting with friends and colleagues.

Delaware Today magazine put together a wonderful piece about Tynisha and her shop - you can see that by clicking here.

I hope you will check out Levitea and all of the other great businesses we have growing and serving our Downtown community.
