Key Takeaways

• The State has committed to maintaining the dune system through various legislation coupled with our property easements signed in 1976 and again re-affirmed in 2007. The State of Delaware “intends to maintain, preserve, protect and periodically renourish some or all of the State’s bay beaches.”  This commitment needs to be maintained both in good times and in bad.
• Kitts Hummock families have invested in our public beach via affirming their commitment to contributing their private property to public use.
• Kitts Hummock families have made significant personal investments in a new beach access in 2012. We continue to invest in the maintenance and improvement of this access.
• Kitts Hummock families continue to invest in promotion of tourism.
• Kitts Hummock has significant untapped potential through partnerships with the Delaware Bayshore Initiative, the Route 9 Coastal Heritage Byway, the Ted Harvey preserve, the St. Jones Reserve, the John Dickinson Plantation, and the Air Mobility Museum.
• The beach of Kitts Hummock provides storm protection not just to Kitts Hummock, also to the farmlands a few hundred feet away, the Dover Air Force Base 3 miles away, etc. Where are you going to draw a line in the sand?
