New Castle County
Home to leaders in banking, chemicals and automobile manufacturing and also to the Port of Wilmington, which imports tropical
fruits and juices and liquid bulk petroleum. Highways, commercial rail, port services, air, and transit are all
important to the support of these businesses and the jobs they bring to our state. Recently, Septa R2 service has
added more choices for commuters and new commuter stations have been created at Fairplay Station at Churchmans Crossing
and in Newark. Local events include the LPGA Womens Tournament, the Wilmington Flower Market, the Italian and Greek Festivals,
concerts, sports, and events connected to the Wilmington Riverfront.

Sussex County
Sussex enjoys a thriving agricultural economy concentrated on poultry production and supporting services. These are
dependent on our highways and commercial rail systems. Millions of tourists visit Sussex County's beautiful beaches
each year. Visitors also depend on roadways to get them to and from these towns and on resort transit to get them
around once they are there. A growing number of retirees are making Sussex County their permanent home and demand
for paratransit services is expected to increase as our population ages. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry, based in Lewes,
is both a transportation option and an attraction.
