Harvey Hanna Begins Redevelopment of Former General Motors Plant in Wilmington, Delaware

WILMINGTON, DEL. — Harvey Hanna & Associates and partner Boxwood Industrial Park LLC have begun the redevelopment of a former General Motors plant in Wilmington. The demolition of the 3 million-square-foot property is the first step of the redevelopment into a business and distribution campus. The project will include 3 million square feet of commercial space spread across four buildings. The demolition of the former plant is expected to take 10 to 12 months, with a significant amount of materials to be reclaimed and recycled. The new campus is expected to create more than 2,100 permanent jobs in logistics, distribution, engineering and transportation. The plant was one of dozens of properties surrendered by General Motors Co. as part of its 2009 bankruptcy.
