After conducting a study through KEP, Smyrna is hoping to bring more medical services to the community, keeping residents from searching for healthcare elsewhere. The hope is that the KEP report will also be an incentive for established healthcare options – BayHealth and Christiana Care – to expand their offerings in Smyrna. Mayor Robert Johnson notes, “The Town of Smyrna is also seeking to attract more restaurants to provide the citizens with a more diverse food selection. We are hoping that the restaurants and incoming business will go hand-in-hand to provide Smyrna with a more attractive appeal for people willing to relocate to here.” With a projected doubling of the population over the next decade, Haines has high hopes for the Town of Smyrna going forward. He shares, “We want to see smart development, without losing the Smyrna Strong, close-knit fabric that does exist and is a real thing for the community. The key part is that we are maintaining this Smyrna culture, so that quality of life isn’t lost while we continue to expand.” With over two centuries of fascinating history, and a strong future of possibilities, Smyrna has much to look forward to in the years ahead.
