The Kent Economic Partnership is a public-private organization that aims to spur economic development in Central Delaware. Under Linda’s leadership, the Partnership has identified distribution and logistics activity as an economic development opportunity. Topics covered include lessons learned from marketing Kent County in the freight and logistics space, recent successes in attracting small- to medium-sized manufacturers to Central Delaware, and the role of transportation infrastructure and planning for Kent County’s economic development efforts.
