WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A multimillion-dollar incentive package to keep DuPont Co. in Delaware after it merges with Dow Chemical includes a $7.5 million contribution from New Castle County.
The companies announced Friday that the agricultural company that will be created after the $130 billion merger is completed will be headquartered in Wilmington.
A specialty-products business that will also be spun off in the merger had already been confirmed for Wilmington.
The News Journal of Wilmington reports Saturday that the incentive package to retain the companies includes $7.5 million in county contributions, in addition to $9.6 million in state incentives.
