DELMARVA VETERAN BUILDERS SELECTED TO BUILD UNITED STATES POST OFFICE COMPLEX IN DOVER
Dover, DE. – April 14, 2020 – Delmarva Veteran Builders, the region’s only commercial construction firm dedicated to bringing employment to U.S. Armed Forces Veterans, announced it has been hired to construct a new 20,000 square foot building for the United States Postal Service in downtown Dover, Delaware.
The existing Dover post office has been located on Lookerman Street since the early 1960s and has outgrown the current space. The city of Dover chose the former Chesapeake Utilities complex at 350 South Queen Street for its new location.
The project consists of demolishing nine existing structures, along with their utilities, full site demolition and the construction of the new building encompassing the entire city block.
“It is a great honor to be a part of the redevelopment of this project and the City of Dover. The country, more than ever, relies on the supply chain and the ability for companies and individuals to deliver critical supplies to the end user. We are grateful we can partner with the USPS and all of its employees to help build something that continues to be relevant to our daily lives.”
“The City of Dover is excited that this long-awaited project is going to happen. The new postal facility on the Western edge of the Downtown Development District will have ample parking and create new business opportunities. We are very happy that the USPS has decided to keep the facility in the heart of the City.”
The project is set to break ground May 1st 2020 with a completion date of Summer 2021.
