On Wednesday October 19, 2005, County Councilman Bob Weiner represented New Castle County and the National Association of Counties (NACo) in a nationally broadcast "web cast" entitled "Homeownership & Comprehensive Neighborhood Revitalization". He was selected to represent NACo because of his service on NACo's Affordable Housing Taskforce , his leadership as NACo's Sustainability Leadership Team Chairman and because of his leadership role in the Claymont Renaissance revitalization initiative.
