The company will build its plant on the site of the former Burlington Industries textile plant that closed in 2007. Staunton will be the first company to locate in the Multimodal Park, located in the southern portion of the state, an economic development effort led by the Staunton River Regional Industrial Facility Authority.
The project is eligible for more than $3.9 million in state and local incentives. Staunton expects to complete the first phase of construction and begin operations by the middle of next year.
