Description: The Delmarva Consortium's Downtown Revitalization Demonstration Project
believes that downtown revitalization can provide a new source of economic
qrowth to communities while they preserve their unique architectural and
historical features and small town character. Smyrna, Delaware and three
other Peninsula communities -- Middletown, Delaware, Snow Hill, Maryland
and Onancock, Virginia -- were competitively selected by the Consortium.
Key to their selection was evidence of a joint commitment by the local
government and private sector to reverse the decline of their downtowns.
