Harrington wants to have its downtown designated as a Development District.
Governor Jack Markell says he will grant the application for such a designation which will bring grants and rebates to entice more businesses to the downtown area.
WBOC reports that the incentive package will include tax breaks for the first year of homeownership as well as fee waivers for new businesses.
The television station reports that Harrington has finished the application but has yet to send it in.
Public comment will be taken after which it will again go to the City Council.
