Corteva Plans Downtown Wilmington Move Retaining 200 Jobs

Corteva Agriscience, a spinoff of DuPont and a major player in agricultural technology, is relocating its Delaware offices from Chestnut Run Plaza to the former Brandywine Building in downtown Wilmington. This move keeps over 200 jobs in Delaware and signifies Corteva's continued commitment to its Delaware roots despite moving its headquarters to Indianapolis in 2022. The relocation, supported by up to $1 million in grants from the Delaware Council on Development Finance, involves renovating the Brandywine Building, which will become Corteva's new office space in early 2026. The move aligns with Wilmington's growing appeal as a business hub, following similar relocations by companies like Incyte. Delaware officials, including Governor Matt Meyer and Mayor John Carney, praised Corteva's decision as a boost to the state's economy and innovation ecosystem. The investment underscores the strategic importance of Delaware for Corteva's future operations and workforce retention.
