Abessinio Stadium

Abessinio Stadium (formerly Baynard Stadium and Baynard Field) is a state-of-the-art 20,000 sf athletic and cultural venue located off W. 18th Street along the westerly boundary of Brandywine Park in Wilmington, Delaware. Originally a gift from Samuel H. Baynard, then president of the Board of Park Commissioners, “Baynard Field” first opened on June 10, 1922, and contained two baseball fields and a running track in its original configuration.The stadium, while owned by the City of Wilmington, had been managed and maintained by the State of Delaware through the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control since 1998, at an approximate loss of $100,000.00 per year.The regular use of the stadium in the over forty years since its last significant renovation in 1972, began to take its toll on the historic and treasured community asset. Between May and July 2016, the bleachers on the south side of the stadium are condemned following a structural engineering assessment and then demolished.In October 2018, after an extensive public process, the Wilmington City Council approved a public/private partnership between the City of Wilmington and Salesianum School, whereby the City agreed to long-term lease with Salesianum School and Salesianum agreed to restore and renovate the stadium into a state-of-the-art athletic and cultural venue, including, among other things, an artificial turf field, a state-of-the-art 8-lane track, team locker rooms, a VIP Suite, a press/coaches box, a video scoreboard, concessions, lights, new bleachers, numerous restroom facilities, an on-site physical therapy suite open to the public, classrooms, state park offices, improved landscaping, and parking.In December 2018, Salesianum announced that Rocco and Mary Frances Abessinio had made a historic $16 million gift to Salesianum School to facilitate the renovations to Abessinio Stadium.The newly renovated Abessinio Stadium officially re-opened on November 13, 2020.

Corporation Trust Center (CT Corporation)
Corporation Trust Center (CT Corporation)

The Corporation Trust Center, is operated by CT Corporation, a subsidiary of Dutch information services firm Wolters Kluwer. The company provides "registered agent services" and, as such, is not responsible for the business or legal affairs of the customers it serves. In 2012, it was the registered agent address of at least 285,000 separate American and foreign businesses who operate or trade in the United States. The one story building is located at 1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington, Delaware. Many companies are incorporated in Delaware for its business-friendly General Corporation Law. It was estimated in 2012 that $9.5 billion of potential taxes had not been levied over the past decade, due to an arrangement known as the "Delaware loophole." Companies formed in Delaware are required to have an address in the state at which process may be served. Therefore, Delaware entities with no physical office in the state must have a registered agent with a Delaware address. Notable companies represented by CT at this location include Google, American Airlines, Apple Inc., General Motors, The Coca-Cola Company, Walmart, Yum! Brands, Verizon, Take-Two Interactive, and about 430 of Deutsche Bank's more than 2,000 subsidiary companies and special purpose companies. Both former President of the United States Donald Trump, and his main opponent in the 2016 United States presidential election, Hillary Clinton, have registered companies at the center.
