2020 State Strategies

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.州规划事务内阁委员会通过州规划协调办公室，牵头编制了1999年发布的首部《特拉华州政策与支出战略》文件，旨在为州级活动提供政策指引，并作为协调地方政府规划与行动的框架。此类协调的重要性在于：土地使用决策由地方层面制定，而支撑此类决策的绝大多数基础设施（如道路、学校）与服务（如应急服务、社会服务）均由州级财政出资支持。因此，联合地方政府与民众制定该文件，有助于形成关于增长与保护优先级的统一共识，供各级政府用于资源分配工作。
