LEGO to Build First US Manufacturing Plant in Virginia, Creating 1,760 Jobs
CHESTERFIELD, VA—The LEGO Group will invest more than $1 billion to construct its first U.S. manufacturing plant here. The 1.7 million-square-foot factory is expected to create more than 1,760 new jobs.
The factory will be designed to operate as a carbon-neutral facility. All of its day-to-day energy needs will be matched by renewable energy generated by an onsite solar park. The site will also be designed to minimize energy consumption and use of nonrenewable resources.
