VFP Inc. is expanding its Scott County operations, creating 50 new jobs.
The company, which manufactures prefabricated structures for the telecommunications, power and modular building industries, will spend $3.5 million on the plant expansion. VFP is headquartered in Salem.
Virginia competed with Tennessee for the investment. Gov. Bob McDonnell approved a $100,000 grant from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to help Scott County with the project. The Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission approved $160,000 for the project.
