Last July, the Route 9 CDC received $3 million from the Bezos Earth Fund to restore eight neighborhood-based parks spanning 300 acres in the Route 9 Community. The Delaware Community Foundation also received funding from the Earth Fund to support and coordinate the environmental justice programs covered by the grants in the state. The Route 9 urban greening initiative aims to enhance community gardens by expanding the available tree canopy for reduced heat and pollution, and improve recreational nature trails with safety
lighting.
