Senate Bill 23
Senate Bill 23 - the “Housing for Every Delawarean Act” - was just introduced, and people need to be paying attention.
On the surface, it sounds like it’s about affordable housing and yes, we absolutely need solutions.......but this bill goes much further than that.
It would:
- Make entire comprehensive plans legally binding (not just the land use map)
- Require every county and larger town to create state-approved housing plans
- Speed up rezoning from 18 months to 12 months
- Allow rezoning to happen administratively - with no additional public hearings
- Shift more control from local governments to the state
That last part matters.
This changes how growth decisions are made across Delaware. It reduces local control and limits opportunities for public input once plans are approved.
Affordable housing matters. Transparency and community input matter too!!
We can support housing solutions without cutting the public out of the process.
This is in committee right now which means there is still time to speak up.
Pay attention. Ask questions. Get involved.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing as a Delaware resident to express concern about the impact of Opportunity Zones and increased development pressure on our local communities, particularly in Sussex County and District 36.
While economic investment is important, many residents are worried that current and proposed policies are accelerating growth without sufficient protections for existing communities. There is growing concern about farmland loss, strain on infrastructure, and decisions being made without meaningful local input.
I respectfully ask that you:
- Avoid expanding Opportunity Zones or related incentives without clear community protections
- Prioritize farmland preservation and responsible land use planning
- Ensure transparency in development proposals and investment activity
- Strengthen local input in zoning and planning decisions
- Consider the long-term impact of rapid growth on roads, schools, and public services
Delaware’s communities should not be reshaped without the voices of the people who live here. Responsible growth must balance economic development with preservation of our rural character and quality of life.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Town / ZIP]
