By providing sustained funding for these critical infrastructure needs, we will help strengthen Delaware’s economy, while we improve the health of our environment. Through the leadership of Governor John Carney and the support of the Delaware General Assembly, we have focused on continuing investment in the environmental infrastructure that supports tourism, recreation, and public health and safety. By purifying air and water, mitigating fl ooding, and supporting diverse species, as well as providing recreational amenities, we generate millions of dollars in economic value. Outdoor recreation options, such as biking and walking trails, can help reduce health care costs as Delawareans adopt healthier lifestyles – and more than 60 percent of our residents now participate in outdoor recreation. Visitors come to Delaware to experience our pristine beaches, navigable waterways, rustic landscapes, world-class birding, hunting, fi shing, biking, and hiking. Clean air and water and memorable recreational experiences are vital to attracting visitors and new companies, as well as retaining businesses and their top talent.
