A Renewed Commitment, 1990-1998

Cohen was rehired by the State of Delaware in 1990 as a senior resources planner for Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). He provided advice, analysis, and coordination of policy and planning projects about land use and natural resources as well as watershed planning. The project files include the Nanticoke Watershed; a twenty-year assessment of the Coastal Zone Act; documents submitted for a Profile in Courage Award on behalf of former Governor Russell W. Peterson and his work as an environmentalist; the Governor’s Management Fellow Program (Cohen was selected for the program in 1993); working files on various projects; and materials from conferences and workshops. The bulk of this section is the Governor’s Task Force of the Future of the Brandywine and Christina Rivers (1992-1994), which Cohen calls the “single most important project of my career as a city and regional planner in Delaware.”
