Waynesboro, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin has announced that Northrop Grumman Corporation, a global aerospace and defense technology company, will invest more than $200 million to establish a new 315,000 square foot advanced electronics manufacturing and testing facility on Shenandoah Village Drive.
The project will create more than 300 new jobs.
“Northrop Grumman’s expanding Virginia footprint sends a powerful message that the Commonwealth is a magnet for investment underpinned by a next-generation workforce,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “This global leader’s cutting-edge facility in Waynesboro will provide job opportunities that attract and retain high-quality talent and create a transformational ripple effect for the entire region.”

“We’re thrilled with today’s announcement that Northrop Grumman has selected Waynesboro for their newest facility,” said Mayor Lana Williams. “This investment brings economic growth and new employment opportunities to the city and region. We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship.”
Ground was broken on the project several weeks ago and it is expected to be completed by the middle of 2025.
