Anchored in Goochland County’s West Creek Business Park, the manufacturing plant is expected to create 1,800 construction jobs in the short term and about 650 full-time jobs once it opens.
That’s about $5 billion in investment into Virginia’s economy, Ricks and Gov.
“We chose Virginia because we have learned we have reliable partners here and great people who turn commitments into results,” Ricks said.
During President Joe Biden’s administration, federal funding was invested in Virginia to help spur pharmaceutical manufacturing south of Richmond around Prince George County.
“We get to collectively say that ‘made in America’ means ‘made in Virginia,’” Youngkin said.
