Nearly 30 Sussex County teachers were awarded grants through the Carl M. Freeman Foundation’s latest one-time grant opportunity established in response to the changes and difficulties local schools have experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A total of 82 applications were submitted from teachers in all nine Sussex County school districts. Of those, 28 teachers received grant funding for their proposed projects, which will benefit about 8,000 students for a total grant investment of $25,000 from the Carl M. Freeman Foundation.

Homeowners in the Bayside community near Selbyville have filed a pair of class-action lawsuits in Delaware Court of Chancery against developer Carl M. Freeman Communities alleging the developer withheld information that would have allowed the homeowners to control their own community association.
Judge Sam Glasscock denied the plaintiffs’ request for a status quo order Feb. 15, and ordered a trial to be held in early May.
In a nutshell, the Bayside homeowners who filed suit believe they should have the controlling interest on the board of directors of the Bayside Community Association. Freeman Communities has said the homeowners are misinterpreting the state’s common interest law, and there is an intention to transition the association to the homeowners by 2024. The homeowners believe that isn’t soon enough, and Freeman Communities is obligated by law to make the transition now.

Empire Communities launched its Home Reimagined social media campaign to assist new buyers in finding homes that reflect their needs while inspiring the life they want to live.
To encourage engagement, the builder opted for an interactive and entertaining method: a quiz. Based on personality traits, values, and needs, the quiz matched customers with the features, designs, and layouts that best fit their lifestyles. Every quiz taker was also assigned a curated identity: Iron Chef, Future CEO, Comfort Lover, Family First, Holistic Homebody, or Humble Host.
The campaign included social media posts on Instagram and Twitter, as well as paid Facebook postings, for 12 weeks total, through Texas and Ontario, Canada, resulting in 30 million impressions, a couple thousand quiz takers, and 13,000 website visitors.
