Delaware Construction News

Delaware packs a varied construction market into a small footprint. New Castle County and the Wilmington area carry the state's corporate, healthcare and industrial work, Dover and Kent County anchor government and military projects, and Sussex County's beach towns drive resort, residential and retirement-community growth. The Port of Wilmington and the Delaware River connect the state to regional freight. Low-lying coastal areas put flood elevation, sea-level rise, storm surge and wind design at the center of many projects, especially near the Atlantic beaches and the Delaware Bay. Poultry and agriculture in the southern counties and chemical and life-science operations in the north add industrial and specialty work to the mix.
