Ideas!

What if you could hear from nine of the area's business leaders at one time?

That opportunity is coming on Wednesday morning, when the Delaware Business Times holds 90 ideas in 90 minutes, where nine business leaders will share their best practices, philosophies, and programs, all over breakfast.

Downtown Wilmington, where good ideas are discussed and good things happen.

Great news for Downtown Wilmington

This week is exciting in Downtown Wilmington - we're seeing new businesses opening and our friends at Chemours and Buccini/Pollin are working on some long-term plans.

The Buccini/Pollin Group has purchased the historic DuPont Building from Chemours and will lease it back to the Wilmington chemical company on a long-term basis as part of a significant redevelopment that could turn the 110-year-old landmark into a mixed-use facility.

You can read the full story from the News Journal by clicking here.

I am excited about all that this means for our Downtown Wilmington community!

Great things are happening here.

Coffee Mode - First Ribbon Cutting of 2017

I can think of no better way to start a new year than with the opening of a new business in Downtown Wilmington.

In the lobby of 919 Market Street is Coffee Mode, where you can now enjoy some truly unique coffee and tea offerings as part of the third wave coffee movement.

You can check out photos, video, and more on the ribbon cutting event from WDEL and Town Square Delaware.

Here's to an exciting 2017 - we're off to a great start!
