Delaware has some of the most lenient regulations in the country in regards to business activity; it’s no accident that more than half of the country’s Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in the state.

In regards to population, Sussex County is the smallest of the state’s three counties, but it’s also the fastest growing. Popular for years with the retirement set, Sussex showed tremendous growth from 1995-2005.

And it’s near the beach – who wouldn’t want to live and work near the beach?

Commercial real estate in Sussex County is a bargain. Companies can reap many financial benefits of doing business in Delaware’s southernmost county.

Covering 938 square miles, Sussex County boasts lower tax rates, a superb natural environment, a better quality of life and countless housing opportunities that are attracting more and more retirees and second homeowners.

Businesses can take advantage of this growing population by laying down roots in Sussex County, which most of us who have lived here for years like to call “God’s Country.”

According to the American Farmland Trust, half of Delaware’s population lived in Wilmington in 1920, but only 9 percent lived there by 2000 as a migration to areas of the state that were once largely farms and forests picked up steam.

Today, many of those people live in Sussex County and many businesses which once operated exclusively in the state’s urban areas now call southern Delaware home.
