Linda Parkowski, Executive Director of the KEP and Choose Central Delaware says “The Rail Study will bring awareness of importance of preserving and zoning land along the rail corridor in Kent County for appropriate uses. There is a finite amount of rail in Central Delaware and this study highlights the need to use it wisely for future generations.”
