The Green - March 19, 2021

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

A year ago, just before the COVID pandemic lockdown began, the housing market in Delaware was picking up significantly.  People selling a house in the first few months of 2020 often had their choice of offers.

One year later despite the pandemic, the story remains the same. And contributor Eileen Dallabrida reports, if anything, the market is even hotter.

A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, we are starting to see how some efforts to help people hit hard economically are faring.

One example is Forward Delaware, a broad training program to help people laid off during the pandemic pivot to a new career.

It wraps up this month and contributor Larry Nagengast looks at what it‘s accomplished since rolling out in August.

There’s still a little time to check out the Historic Odessa Foundation's first exhibit of the year.

“Our Delaware,” which features 27 assorted works from the personal collections of Foundation staff members, is up for one more week.

The Foundation’s assistant curator Brian Miller recently spoke with Delaware Public Media’s Kelli Steele about how it came together.

The year-old COVID-19 pandemic turned more Delawareans into pet owners, or in some cases repeat pet owners.

Pet adoptions are increasing as more people spend time at home.

And in this week’s Enlighten Me, Delaware Public Media contributor Mark Fowser reports the interest in adopting a shelter pet is growing at a good time.
