That's right. In the battle for Volkswagen's new $1 billion U.S. plant, Chattanooga has emerged victorious. Among our competitors were Huntsville, Alabama and apparently, some place in Michigan.
How did we do it? According to the Chattanoogan.com, it had to do with the readiness of Enterprise South Industial Park and "core values." I'm not sure to which "core values" VW was referring but it might have to something to do with that undisclosed "attractive, comprehensive package" we offered them.
What does this mean for us? For starters, it means 2,000 new jobs for this area. In a declining economy, that's great news. The VW plant is expected to complete construction by the end of 2010, with production for a new, mid-sized sedan rolling out by early 2011.
