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.
Three newly hired Millsboro Police officers were greeted with applause when they were introduced at the Millsboro Town Council meeting this week.
The council approved increasing the police force above the current complement until retirements are complete and also approved sending the officers to the police academy for training, beginning on Monday, April 12.
The officers are Travis Shockley of Seaford and Bryan Jones and Cole Revel of Millsboro. Jones and Revel are both former students of Mayor Michelle Truitt, who is Millsboro Middle School teacher.
Police Chief Brian Calloway said two of the officers will replace Sgt. Barry Wheatley, who will retire in October and pursue a career in public safety, and another officer who plans to retire but hasnât officially announced it yet.
