Good morning, Wilmington.

The Delaware Community Foundation invested $650K through its Arsht-Cannon Fund to support 39 projects that expand bilingual arts+literacy and workforce programs for Hispanic communities; the Delaware Art Museum will use part of the funding to enhance Spanish-language exhibits and launch new family events in September.

House of William and Merry, a farmhouse restaurant on Old Lancaster Pike & Valley Road, announced its closing on July 26 as the owners plan a new chapter with uncertain next steps.

They said the decision is not due to reduced support and will share updates online.

The Delaware State Fair continues to celebrate farming as its core, with exhibits and attractions showcasing food+fun for visitors and reaffirming the tradition of agriculture.

The event highlights Delaware’s ag heritage and offers families classic fair experiences.

Delaware’s established corporate franchise fuels the state’s economy as new business filings increased 15% in 2025, supporting thousands of well-paid jobs and keeping costs low for residents—experts note the system’s flexibility and fairness are key to its success.

Delaware’s corporate franchise revenue system drives nearly $3 billion into state funds to support education, healthcare, public safety and local jobs, easing the tax burden on residents.

State officials say maintaining this system is essential as competition from other states increases.
