We are grateful for the fruitful collaboration we have had with all partners across the Commonwealth of Virginia who share and support our ambition to build this factory. It will use the latest energy-efficient production equipment while buildings and manufacturing processes are designed to minimize energy use.Ĭarsten Rasmussen, Chief Operations Officer of the LEGO Group, said: “We are absolutely delighted to mark the beginning of construction here in Virginia. The site will be designed to support the company’s sustainability ambitions, including reducing its absolute global carbon emissions by 37 percent by 2032. The LEGO Group’s ambition is for the solar plant to match the total annual energy requirements of the site. Once completed in 2025, the 340 acres site, the size of 260 American football fields, will have rooftop and ground solar panels and an on-site 35-40 MW solar plant, generating the equivalent of the energy needed to power approximately 10,000 American homes. This is a US $1 billion investment in the company’s long-term growth globally and the first American manufacturing facility for the company. The LEGO Group on Thursday broke ground on its new carbon-neutral run factory in Chesterfield County. “We are thankful for our customers’ continued support throughout the renovation.” ![]() “We are pleased to offer our Short Pump customers an enhanced store with more convenient shopping options,” said James Menees, corporate affairs manager for Kroger Mid-Atlantic.

With multiple locations in Central Virginia and six in Charlottesville, this is the roasting operation’s second shop in Richmond - the first can be found towards the city’s West End, on Libbie Avenue. Previously, Scott’s was home to just one dedicated coffee shop - Afterglow Coffee Cooperative on Summit Avenue. Grit can be found serving up drip coffee, cold brew, americanos, lattes, macchiatos, cortados, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, tea and more at the center of a peak Scott’s Addition hub - the corner of Roseneath and West Moore Street. (WRIC) - While a non-rarity for Richmond as a whole, a new coffee shop in Scott’s Addition is sure to excite neighbors in the previously undersaturated caffeine-loving city district - and Grit Coffee is ready to provide exactly what has been missing.
