The Millsboro Art League has struggled during the pandemic, missing some rent payments to its landlord, the Town of Millsboro. The Millsboro Town Council voted this week to extend the MAL s lease for another year amid support from the community and assurances from the league that upcoming classes can help it turn things around.Coastal Point ⢠Susan Canfora
Concerns about the Greater Millsboro Art League closing, or having to relocate, were put to rest this week when a motion, framed to assist the financially struggling non-profit and keep it open, was passed by the Millsboro Town Council.
After hearing several comments from those in favor of the Town continuing to lease the art league building, at 203 Main Street, and allow the non-profit a little more time to catch up on unpaid rent, Councilman Tim Hodges encouraged proponents gathered at Town Hall to do their part to support the art league even after the meeting ended.
