“Chairman Cordrey is a highly respected
public servant who has dedicated the majority of his very successful
professional and political career using the legislative process to
address the needs of his fellow Delawareans and to improve the
attractiveness of Delaware to new and existing businesses.
Our port faces a very promising and
challenging future and one with many opportunities for commercial
growth. Working together under Chairman Cordrey’s leadership, I am
confident the port will successfully convert these opportunities into
new business for the port and increased economic impact for our state
and region”, added Bailey.
