12/13/2024
Carolina Structural Systems, a manufacturer of custom wood trusses and other structural wood products, plans to establish operations in Greensville County, Virginia. The $5.5 million project is expected to create 58 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new 40,000-square-foot manufacturing facility,

“Carolina Structural Systems is proud to partner with the Commonwealth of Virginia and Greensville County,” said Carolina Structural Systems General Manager Dave Green. “This location is strategically located between the growth in the area north of Raleigh, while giving us access to the Richmond Market. Once we decided that our Company’s growth was going to be in this region, the folks involved with this project made Virginia an easy choice. All of us at Carolina Structural Systems are excited to get underway!”

To support the project Governor Youngkin approved a $270,000 grant from the Commonwealth Opportunity Fund as well as a $75,000 grant from the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund, which Greensville County will match with local funds.

“The addition of?Carolina?Structural Systems to Emporia highlights the Commonwealth's ability to attract innovative manufacturers to rural Virginia,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “This project will not only create valuable job opportunities but also contribute to the growth of Virginia's forest products sector. We look forward to supporting them as they establish operations and become an integral part of Greensville County's business.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) and Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services worked with Greensville County and Virginia's Growth Alliance to secure the project.

“VGA welcomes Carolina Structural Systems to the vibrant VGA region – the wood basket of Virginia,” added Virginia’s Growth Alliance Executive Director David Denny. “The company's dedication to innovation and excellence strengthens our shared vision for growth and opportunity. We’re excited to see the impact their expertise will bring to our community. We look forward to building a brighter future together!”
