Sam Dong Ohio announces $13 million Delaware expansion and 30 new jobs

Sam Dong Ohio announced a $13 million expansion in Delaware that is projected to create 30 new jobs, according to a City of Delaware news release posted June 26, 2026.

The announcement puts a proposed business expansion and new employment opportunities on the city’s public agenda. It does not represent completed construction or completed hiring. The 30-job figure is a projection tied to the announced expansion.

For residents and workers, the proposed investment could create additional workforce opportunities in Delaware. For the city, the expansion could increase industrial investment and eventually affect the local tax base. The public announcement does not provide an estimate of that potential fiscal effect.

What the announcement establishes

The central figures are the planned $13 million investment and the projection of 30 new jobs. Those figures describe the scale and expected employment result of the announcement, rather than a completed project outcome.

The city’s release does not provide a construction schedule, a precise site, payroll details, tax-credit information or a hiring timeline. It also does not say whether the jobs would be filled immediately or in phases. Those details would help residents, prospective workers and local businesses understand when the expansion might produce its expected effects.

Until additional details are publicly provided, the announcement confirms the investment and projected job total but not when construction or hiring will occur.

Separate city project reaches final year

The expansion announcement comes as the city separately reports progress on the Point Improvement Project. In a city update, Delaware said the project had entered its final year and that major milestones were ahead of an anticipated completion in August 2026.

The Point Improvement Project is a separate public-infrastructure effort from Sam Dong Ohio’s proposed expansion. Its timeline gives residents a distinct city project to track during 2026, while the company’s announcement remains focused on proposed investment and employment.

The next identified milestone for the Point Improvement Project is the anticipated August 2026 completion. For Sam Dong Ohio, the next public questions concern the timing of construction and hiring. The $13 million expansion and 30-job projection could matter to Delaware’s workforce and economy, but those effects will depend on the project moving from announcement to implementation.
