After putting its plans in neutral, online used car retailer Carvana announced Tuesday that it plans to break ground this quarter on a $25 million, 191,000-square-foot vehicle inspection and reconditioning facility in Chesterfield County.
The project could bring more than 400 jobs to the county, economic development officials said in the announcement.
Carvana first announced the project in December 2019. It marked a win for Virginia, which competed against North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee f0r the facility. But Carvana put the project on hold during the pandemic.
