In a major blow to the Maryland economy, W.F. Delauter & Son, Inc. announced Wednesday that it would close its plant in Frederick on March 29th. The shuttering of the facility will result in 78 lost manufacturing jobs in the small town.

W.F. Delauter & Son had been providing quality construction projects since 1955.
Their primary business activity includes residential and commercial site development, underground utility construction, mass excavation, and fine grading.

The W.F. Delauter & Son, Inc. plant closure is the latest in a series of eight facility shutdowns by Penn Parking, Inc.
