Virginia Maritime Association

LS GreenLink USA, Inc. will invest $681 million to build a state-of-the-art facility to manufacture high-voltage subsea cables used for offshore wind farms in Chesapeake. "The Virginia Maritime Association welcomes LS GreenLink USA as a strategic investor in our commercial waterfront and the newest member of our maritime community,” said Virginia Maritime Association Executive Director David White. “Our staff diligently worked with our economic development partners and the LS team to locate the best site on the Eastern Seaboard for their manufacturing operations to support the growing offshore wind industry, taking advantage of Virginia's deep channels, established supply chain, and skilled workforce. LS GreenLink USA clearly understands the Virginia advantage." https://lnkd.in/e3XFJ4q3
