Restored ‘Rigby House’ Offers Affordable Rooms and a Second Chance | |
When local contractor and property developer Durrell Miller bought a long-vacant building on Rigby Avenue at auction, his plan was straightforward: renovate it, rent it, and let the numbers work.
But Cambridge’s zoning rules pushed him in a slightly different direction, ultimately resulting in both a viable business venture and a new tool for Delmarva Community Services (DCS), a local anti-poverty nonprofit, as it works to move people from homelessness into stable housing.
The newly renovated Rigby Community Building, or Rigby House, at 617 Rigby Ave., was recently rededicated as a single-room-occupancy property with 18 private bedrooms, shared baths, and communal spaces divided between two sides of a duplex. Each room rents for $850 per month, including utilities and internet.

Choptank Habitat For Humanity Building Neighborhood in Cambridge | |
(CAMBRIDGE, Md) – Choptank Habitat for Humanity and their volunteers are hard at work turning land on Camper Street in Cambridge into a brand new neighborhood, one that’s going to create up to a dozen new home owners.
We got a chance to meet with some of Choptank Habitat’s leadership at the construction site, where four of those twelve homes are under construction.
It’s all part of their home ownership program to help low-income families become buyers.
Habitat Chief Development Officer, Jenny Schmidt walked us through the process.
She says, “People always think that we give these houses away. We do not give them away. The homeowner is going through our program, have to put in 200 hours of sweat equity. They have to save money for closing costs and then they take out a mortgage. This is their house.”
Habitat for Humanity is planning to have all twelve of these houses under construction throughout the year.
For a volunteer like Frank Dorian, being able to lend a hand to families in need of a fresh start is exactly why habitat is building a neighborhood in Cambridge in the first place.

Hurlock purchases trolley with community support | |
HURLOCK, Md. - A new trolley is officially rolling into Hurlock after town leaders approved its purchase, turning a community idea into a town-owned attraction.
The Hurlock Town Council voted 4–1 this week to acquire the trolley, which was purchased from Delmarva Community Transit and paid for entirely through donations from local businesses and neighbors. The trolley, which had been sitting unused at Delmarva Community Transit’s facility in Denton, was sold to the town for $6,000.
Mayor Earl Murphy said the idea came together quickly after a conversation sparked by the town’s Christmas parade.
“The fun thing about the trolley is it was an idea after we had our Christmas parade of why aren't we building something more permanent?” Murphy said. “I noticed one of the local businesses had a trolley. So I reached out to them, which is Delmarva Community Transit, and they happened to have one available.”
Joshua Sparks of Hurlock helped spearhead the fundraising effort after being asked by the mayor to take on the challenge.

Fur Your Consideration: Meet Brandywine and Miss Grinch | |
Brandywine is a beautiful 4-year-old Boxer with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She’s spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and ready to find her forever home through Baywater Animal Rescue.
Personality
This sweet girl thrives on human attention — whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or showing off her favorite toys, Brandywine is happiest when she’s by your side. She’s affectionate, loyal, and full of fun energy that makes every day brighter.
