The Next Chapter on Captain’s Hill

The Phillips Seafood family estate offers a rare combination of coastal luxury, privacy, acreage and future opportunity. Our parents gave us many wonderful things, but one of the most meaningful was the chance to grow up on this remarkable property. As children, we spent entire days exploring its 37 acres, coming home only when the large dinner bell outside the kitchen rang. We built treehouses and forts in the woods with the neighborhood children and spent as much time as possible on the water—from full-contact sailing races on the lake to kneeboarding and tubing around Isle of Wight Bay.

New Delmar bank branch aims to expand Eastern Shore service

Farmers Bank of Willards has broken ground on a new branch in Delmar that will expand the community bank’s presence in Sussex County and become its eighth location when completed, according to a community announcement. The branch is being built in Delmar Business Park and will join the bank’s existing Sussex County location in Millsboro. Construction is underway, with the project expected to be completed around Memorial Day 2027. “Opening a branch in Delmar is about more than expanding our footprint. It’s about becoming part of another community and investing in its future,” said Matthew Davis, president and CEO of Farmers Bank of Willards. “We believe banking should be personal. We want to know our customers, understand their needs, and build relationships that last. That’s what community banking means to us, and we are excited to bring that same commitment to Delmar.” The new facility will include a 3,150-square-foot branch building and a 1,428-square-foot drive-through canopy. Salisbury-based Gillis Gilkerson is leading the design-build process. The companies previously worked together on the bank’s West Ocean City branch. The building was designed by Teen Verbares of Core Design Group. Plans call for a mix of traditional and modern design elements, including neoclassical
