Message from the President
We begin this week with the news of the final, official splitting of Dow, DuPont and Corteva. Corteva will begin trading today and signaled its independence with a “ring the bell” moment to open trading at the New York Stock Exchange.
This week was the first in the four-week sprint to June 30. Highlights this week included: HB110, the legalization of marijuana bill, and SB105, the bill that would raise Delaware’s minimum wage to $11 in January 2020 and then by a dollar each year until it hits $15 in 2024.
The Division of Small Business has launched several initiatives to help small business owners, including a robust, new website, a series of matchmaking events and marketing Delaware’s 25 Opportunity Zones.
Since its creation in August of 2017, Delaware Prosperity Partnership has recruited a core staff led by President & CEO Kurt Foreman and now the statewide economic development team is laser-focused on building a brighter future for Delawareans.
