MAYOR AND CITY CELEBRATE RDC’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Mayor Mike Purzycki and the City of Wilmington congratulate the Riverfront Development Corporation of Delaware, which marked its 25th anniversary in April. Mayor Purzycki served as the RDC’s first Executive Director beginning in 1996, and was instrumental in resurrecting the blighted, industrial wasteland along the Christina River and transforming the former WWII shipyard into an economic, cultural, and social hub of the City. “It was my great fortune for twenty years to be part of a team that had a dream and committed itself to seeing that dream come true. What a wonderful ride,” said the Mayor.
