Refinery leaders meeting with Delaware City residents
Delaware City Refinery leaders will meet with residents tonight to look at the way the public is notified about emergencies at the refinery.

State, city and county leaders will take part in tonight’s meeting which will be held at 6:30 at the Delaware City Library.
