Rolls Royce will be building a new production center near Richmond, VA in Petersburg, VA at the new Crosspointe Center Industrial Park. The facility is expected to break ground in 2010 and be completed in 2014. Rolls Royce will be building RB 282 jet engines for mid-sized business jets built by France's Dassault Aviation. The Commonwealth Center of Advanced Manufacturing will also be centered at Crosspointe. This group intends to coordinate with Virginia schools (notably UVA and Virginia Tech) and potentially bring more aerospace and advanced manufacturing business to the area.
