Known for its pro-business finance laws, Wilmington has long been a national hub for the credit card industry, but there's much more here. Nine colleges, the Delaware Innovation Fund, and growth in pharmaceuticals and tourism make Wilmington an important cog in the Greater Philadelphia economic wheel. Its revitalized, multi-use riverfront, abundant natural resources like Wilmington State Parks, and diversifying population make the city a lively and scenic destination for tourists and jobseekers alike.
