🌲 Environment
Delaware wildlife rehabilitators (DCWRE) are raising funds to build a dedicated wildlife center to offer centralized treatment and educational programs for animals as shrinking natural habitats hamper care.
The project will help support volunteer training statewide.
🏛️ Government
The Delaware Department of Education seeks sponsors for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) so childcare centers, shelters, and afterschool programs can receive USDA meal reimbursements.
Sponsors must meet income guidelines for the period from July 1 to June 30 next year.
🏥 Health
Delaware has allocated nearly $1.4 million to strengthen the doctor workforce in growing rural communities in Kent and Sussex counties.
The investment offers $140,000 for educational awards and about $1.24 million for housing and relocation assistance (supporting 63 awards) for physicians who must commit to five years of rural practice.
Bayhealth is planning a multi-year expansion called Next Wave that will add a taller 10-story hospital tower in Dover, expanded emergency services in Milton, and a new Total Care facility in Smyrna.
The projects — scheduled through 2029 — aim to improve care access for a growing community.
