Findings:
New Castle County had the most threatened resources.
When looking at all 126 threatened buildings that were recorded between 1990-2002, 77 of those buildings are no longer standing, 48 of those buildings are still standing, and one is currently in the process of being demolished.
Although about 40% of the surveyed buildings are still standing, some of them are in extremely poor condition. Most of the recorded buildings are still standing as a result of the surveys conducted. The surveys served as a call to action for many neighborhoods, historic districts, and communities. As a result, owners attempted to rehabilitate and renovate their properties, or third-parties began to take over in an effort to save the threatened resources.
The other 60% of the surveyed buildings were demolished or destroyed. The most common cause of demolition was development, encroaching roadways, and event damage. The properties that once housed the threatened resources have been developed commercially and residentially.
