2025 update of the investment level map for State Strategies for State Policies and Spending
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues, through the Office of State Planning Coordination, originally developed the first Delaware Strategies for State Policies and Spending document published in 1999 to provide policy guidance for state activities and serve as a framework for coordinating the plans and actions of local governments. The importance of such coordination lies in the fact that land-use decisions are made at the local level, while the bulk of infrastructure (e.g., roads and schools) and services (e.g., emergency services and social services) that support land-use decisions are funded by the state. Thus the development of this document with local governments and citizens helps to create a unified view toward growth and preservation priorities that all governments can use to allocate resources. This version is for 2025 State Strategies.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

The updated State Strategies map was created using a spatial data analysis that balances state, county, and local policies that favor growth for different areas of the state with policies that favor land preservation, agricultural economic development, and natural resource management. The analysis creates a statewide spatial data set that reflects the combined policies of all levels of government to highlight what areas are most appropriate for different forms of growth. Geospatial data sets that show land-use policies were collected from state agencies and county and municipal governments. Each data set was processed into a standard, statewide, Polygon feature class and was given a positive or a negative value reflecting its suitability for growth or preservation. The data sets were combined using ESRI’s GeoAnalytic tools to create a single, overlapping analysis. In the analysis each data item’s respective value was calculated on the segments’ output and resulted in a range of -9 to 16. These values were classified into logical groups to form a set of the four levels called for in the Strategies for State Policies and Spending. Corrections, additions, and deletions needed following public workshops and meetings with state agency planners, county government officials, and municipal government leaders were reflected in the original datasets as applicable and the analysis was re-run to accommodate new data feeds and their impact on the overall makeup of fragmentation.
