Volkswagen to expand Chattanooga plant
Volkswagen announced this morning that the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga will expand to begin building a new mid-size SUV for the U.S. market.
The move means Volkswagen will hire an additional 2,000 workers.
Company officials also said they will build a new U.S. development center there that will employ 200 engineers in designing and supporting cars for North America.
The company plans to spend about $900 million to expand the plant and will hire more workers.
