We broke ground on the Delaware Container Terminal, a historic investment that will transform the Edgemoor industrial site and unlock its potential as an economic driver for the entire State of Delaware. This project is decades in the making, creating thousands of good-paying, high-quality union jobs for Delawareans, and unleashing significant economic activity that will drive additional revenues to our State. From electricians to iron workers and other building trades, Delaware’s skilled union workforce will play a critical role in building this terminal. And ILA Local 1694 will be essential to the terminal’s success, providing skilled longshore workers who will ensure the efficiency of our Port’s operation.
