Design Committee

Mission

The Design Committee focuses on the visual appeal of downtown Newark. The main goal of the Committee is to improve its aesthetic and pedestrian scale qualities. The 2009 Work Plan was the Committee’s strategy for meeting this goal during the past year, and the 2010 will serve the role in the upcoming year.

The Design Committee meets the first Tuesday of the month at 8:00 am at various downtown locations. Please check postings at the City Municipal Building or call 302-366-7030. All meetings are open to the public.
