Stafford aims to spend $3.4 million to attract international shipper DHL

Stafford leaders hope to invest $1.3 million to improve a street in hopes of landing an international shipping firm.

The Stafford County Board of Supervisors approved a grant application submitted to the state's Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund to improve Wyche Road.

The improvements are part of the Commonwealth's incentive proposal to attract German-based mail carrier DHL to expand its presence in the state. The state will match Stafford's $1.3 million contributions. Stafford is hoping that the combined $3.4 million will be enough to incentivize DHL to build a Stafford facility.
