VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Governor Glenn Youngkin made a huge business announcement Friday at Acoustical Sheet Metal.
The Governor revealed the company's third expansion, which creates 350 additional jobs.
'As I look at the workers who stand behind this expansion and this opportunity that is going to be created, this is a huge step. What a huge step it is that we are going to invest over $45 million and hire hundreds and hundreds more people,' Youngkin said.
Acoustical Sheet Metal Company CEO Margaret Shaia, who is fondly called 'Ms. Margaret' by workers also spoke to the crowd of over 200 people.
'I think we have demonstrated in the past our commitment to providing career opportunities, and we are going to continue to do that, and this allows us to have a long runway to allow them to continue to extend their careers with Acoustical Sheet Metal,' Shaia said.
The new building will be 250,000 square feet.
'I have to say over the Commonwealth, the last 3 ½ years we have had the great opportunity to announce expansion after expansion. Rarely is it the same company over and over again. So that is why I am so excited today,' Youngkin said.
Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer praised Acoustical Sheet Metal during his speech.
'Acoustical Sheet Metal is renowned for its sound reducing and weather protective enclosure for on-site generators. The products they make foster and support the growth of our critical business sectors such as data centers that are important to us right here in Virginia Beach,' he said.
