I could not be more excited to announce that Dot Foods is coming to Delaware and putting down roots right in our district!
If there is one issue that comes before all others for state legislators, it's jobs. We know that each new job generated in our state puts food on the table and a roof over the heads of another family here.
The Tracy family knows that more than most. They've taken their family business from the back of a station wagon in Illinois to a $6 billion nationwide food distributor. Along the way, they've built a reputation for treating employees like family too. 10% of their drivers in Maryland make six figure salaries and employee interviews point to exactly the kind of corporate citizen we want in Delaware: family oriented, focused on the community, and tirelessly committed to the kind of teamwork that makes the economy work for everyone.
This is a huge deal for this area: we’re talking about 200+ good jobs in the next two years: drivers, warehouse, administration, the whole nine. They'll need drivers hired and ready to go before the warehouse even opens, so if you have your CDL or are looking to get into the field, you should check
drivefordot.com and
Dot Foods Careers regularly.
We broke ground on the new facility this week, but we also marked the beginning of what I am convinced will be a long and fruitful relationship between this employer and the state of Delaware.
I am so thankful to have been a part of Wednesday's ceremony and I can't wait to come back when things are ready to get rolling.
