Delaware County Council presented its annual State of the County on June 5 with the theme “Building a Stronger County.” Among the highlights were:

  • A broad array of health programs and services from the new Health Department, including vaccines for children and seniors, mammograms, flu shot clinics, lead poisoning prevention efforts, and public health emergency preparedness.
  • The planning department worked to secure a $2.5 million grant for safety and connectivity along Route 291 in Chester. 
  • Significant investments in infrastructure, including long overdue repairs and replacements of major building systems and bridges, improving the work environment to retain county employees and attract new talent, and investing in technology to make county operations more transparent and the delivery of services quick and efficient.
  • The county formed a housing coalition to address the need for affordable and safe housing for all residents.
