NEWARK — Senator Coons was on hand to commemorate the ground-breaking of Bloom Energy’s new manufacturing facility on the grounds of the old Chrysler plant in Newark Monday morning — an important moment for the Delaware’s economic future.
“When we think about the threads that will keep America competitive in the global economy for the next generation, we think of innovation, entrepreneurship, clean energy and manufacturing – and all of those are coming together today here in Delaware,” Senator Coons said. “In building its East Coast facility here in Newark, Bloom isn’t just investing in its own cutting-edge technology – Bloom is investing in Delaware’s communities, our families, and our future. This is a wonderful day for Delaware, and is a day made possible because of what Delaware brings to the table: a talented workforce, a welcoming business climate, and the tremendous leadership of folks like Governor Markell, Secretary O’Mara and DEDO Director Levin. I am proud to welcome Bloom Energy to Delaware today, and look forward to a long, fruitful relationship.”
