Governance

Historic Compact

The DRBA was created in an historic compact - organized in 1963 after enabling legislation was passed in the States of Delaware and NJ and approved by a Joint Resolution of the U.S. Congress on Sept. 20, 1962.

See compact

The Compact was revised in Nov. 1990 to empower the DRBA to participate in economic development within its compact area of Delaware and the four southern counties of New Jersey -- Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland and Cape May.
