“I could not be more excited for Fayette County. This new site will create at least 2,200 jobs for hardworking members of our community and put Fayette County on the map for thousands more. 

“This multi-billion dollar investment demonstrates the belief that Ohio’s workers are committed to their jobs and dedicated to the prosperity of Ohio and its facilities. I am thrilled for the opportunities this will give our community, and I look forward to following the development closely.”
