President Pro Tempore David B. McBride’s statement on DowDuPont Specialty Products investment
Senate President Pro Tempore David B. McBride issued the following statement regarding DowDuPont's announcement that it will relocate businesses comprising more than $8 billion in annual revenue into its Specialty Products division, based in Wilmington:
“DowDuPont’s announcement is tremendously encouraging, and I’m gratified that the company is continuing to invest in our state. Delaware and the DuPont Company had a centuries-old, mutually beneficial relationship that fundamentally shaped Delaware and its history. This investment gives us cause for optimism that, even with a new name and leadership, DowDuPont continues to understand the value of that relationship. This is welcome news for my colleagues and me, who worked to convince DuPont to maintain a significant footprint in Delaware. More importantly, it’s welcome news for our state’s economy, workforce, and families.”
