A United Kingdom-based indoor farming company is coming to Carroll County, bringing about $100 million in investments and more than 200 jobs with it. Oasthouse will invest $104.8 million to build the Carroll County operation, which will ultimately create 265 full- and part-time positions. With the Carroll County project, Oasthouse aims to mitigate the U.S. dependency on imported fresh produce via “the largest and most technologically advanced greenhouse cluster,” according to the website. “Existing supplies of fresh produce to the Eastern Seaboard, and especially tomatoes, are largely imported from Mexico and Canada with long transportation times, impacting taste, nutrition and quality,” the company said on a page dedicated to the Carroll County project. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Mount Rogers Regional Partnership, Blue Ridge Crossroads Economic Development Authority and Carroll County combined to lure Oasthouse to Southwest Virginia.
