M.C. Dean拟投资4.125亿美元扩建卡罗琳县制造园区 新增1950个岗位
弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格10月13日宣布，电力与技术工程企业M.C. Dean拟投资4.125亿美元，扩建其位于卡罗琳县的模块化关键任务制造园区，预计新增1950个就业岗位。
公司计划新建两座厂房：一座44.2万平方英尺的厂房位于现有主园区，另一座150万平方英尺的厂房位于600英亩的北园区。扩建完成后，公司园区总占地将达1300英亩，总建筑面积超过360万平方英尺（2030年），成为全美最大的模块化制造园区。项目尚须通过特别例外许可程序，包括两场公开听证。
弗吉尼亚经济发展伙伴机构与卡罗琳县等合作促成该项目，州议会重大就业与投资项目审批委员会已拨出最高4500万美元支持，待州议会批准。公司还计划自2027年起在卡罗琳高中设立电力系统培训中心。
斯潘伯格表示，这项扩建是M.C. Dean、卡罗琳县与弗吉尼亚州共同的转型篇章。总部位于泰森斯的M.C. Dean创立于1949年，现为工程与关键任务系统领域的企业，在全球设有40多个办事处，员工逾9000人。
M.C. Dean Proposes $412.5 Million Caroline County Expansion Creating 1,950 Jobs
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger announced Oct. 13 that M.C. Dean, a power and technology engineering firm, proposes to invest $412.5 million to expand its Modular Mission Critical manufacturing campus in Caroline County, creating an expected 1,950 new jobs.
The company plans two new facilities: a 442,000-square-foot building on its existing main campus and a 1.5 million-square-foot building on its 600-acre north campus. When complete, the campus will cover 1,300 acres with more than 3.6 million square feet by 2030, making it the largest modular manufacturing campus in the United States. The expansion must go through the special exception permit process, including two public hearings.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Caroline County and other partners on the project, and the General Assembly's Major Employment and Investment Project Approval Commission allocated up to $45 million in support, pending approval by the state legislature. The company also plans a Power Systems Training Center at Caroline High School starting in 2027.
Spanberger called the announcement a transformational next chapter for the company, the county and the Commonwealth. Tysons-based M.C. Dean was founded in 1949 and employs more than 9,000 people across more than 40 offices worldwide.
