Show Notes
New Castle County Councilman Penrose Hollins, recipient of Delawares highest civilian honor, the Order of the First State, is celebrated for his 35+ years of public service, particularly in affordable housing and community programs. Hollins, a former U.S. Army medic and DuPont research technician, has been a county council member since 1997 and helped found a local Baptist church. Hes held historic milestones as the first Black council member to serve as president pro tempore and the longest in that role. Hollins leadership has been instrumental in housing, libraries, workforce training, and support for vulnerable residents. He championed initiatives like inclusionary zoning, first-time homebuyer programs, senior home repairs, and the opening of ten county libraries. Hollins plans to retire later this year, leaving a lasting blueprint for community uplift across New Castle County.
