b'OPPORTUNITY LIVES HERERoute 9 Corridor Master Plan Level of Service MapIn 2017, WILMAPCO released the Route 9 Corridor Master Plan 11(AKA the Route 9 Corridor Land Use and Transportation Plan), which included recommendations for land use changes and street improvements along and in the vicinity of the portion of Route 9 in the District. The area includes a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The existence of industrial uses near residences has created public health and safety issues, which the master plan seeks to help address. Therefore, the plan includes many recommendations whose implementation will be beneficial to the goals of this economic development plan. It should also be noted that Route 9 was identified as a priority corridor in the New Castle County, Delaware Economic Development Strategic Plan (2014), 12and that the state received a $6 million federal grant through Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program in October 2022 to make improvements to Route 9.
