Delmarva Corrugated Packaging is nearing the completion of its packaging plant in Dover.

An October opening is planned, with hiring underway for various positions with pay starting at $18 an hour for production workers.  The paper corrugating plant will operate with first and second shifts.

With an estimated price tag of $80 million, the plant is being built as Delaware sees a boom in distribution centers led by Amazon.

The site features a rarity these days in the form of a rail spur that makes its way into the building.

Delmarva Corrugated is slated to receive as much as $3 million in  grants from the State of Delaware approved last year.  Total employment is projected at about 160. The plant was first known as  U.S. Corrugated of Delaware.
