Delaware Jobs Created by Solar Plant Acquisition

A recently-acquired solar plant is helping to support and create Delaware jobs.

Earlier this year, Motech Americas acquired a Newark-based solar-panel manufacturing facility previously owned by General Electric Company, a move that saved about 70 existing jobs and will create an additional 75 positions by the end of the year.

Gov. Jack Markell and Alan Levin, director of the Delaware Economic Development Office, recently attended an open house of the facility.
