History
The Rodney Square Conservancy (RSC) began in 2016 as a group of Wilmington residents and local businesses known as Friends of Rodney Square. They shared a commitment to creating a non-profit membership organization that could provide community pride in enhancing the physical condition of the Square and promoting greater use, as well as appreciation of its historic legacy.
Within a year, the group was transformed into the RSC – a non-profit participant representing the private element in a public private partnership with local and state governments. Its purpose remained unchanged – the restoration and improvement of the Square in the interest of civic pride and recognition of this public space as the civic heart of Wilmington.
Today, the RSC is spearheading the Rodney Square Works project, a multi-million dollar renovation that broke ground on September 9, 2019. The multi-phased endeavor will include a major aesthetic and infrastructure overhaul as well as the correction of deferred maintenance issues. Phase One of the project is expected to be completed in early 2020.
