As reported by Delaware Public Media, "The Delaware Task Force on Sustainable Transportation Funding is seeking public input as it looks to address long-term challenges impacting the state’s Transportation Trust Fund. The task force was created a year ago in an executive order by Gov. Matt Meyer, and charged with reviewing the current and future condition of the trust fund."

As reported by the Newark Post, "The City of Newark is entering the home stretch of its 16-month process to rewrite the city's comprehensive development plan, which will guide the growth of the city over the next decade. Required to be updated every 10 years, the plan sets forth a broad development strategy for the city and also establishes dozens of goals and initiatives to work on in the coming years."

As reported in DNREC's Outdoor Delaware Magazine, "Climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions is reshaping Delaware and will only grow worse unless we continue to take significant action.

As reported by SmartCitiesDive, "The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, a sweeping federal environmental and permitting reform bill introduced in the Senate, includes several provisions that could significantly affect local governments, including changes to federal environmental reviews and new requirements for data centers to pay for their transmission costs."

As reported by Transportation Today, "A new report from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) finds that households that choose public transportation can save about $14,100 a year.
