Summary: Lego has started building its first US manufacturing facility in Chester, Virginia, which is expected to cost $1 billion and cover 1.7 million square feet. The plant will include 13 buildings and will be powered by rooftop and ground solar panels, as well as an on-site solar plant, when it is completed in 2025. The carbon-neutral facility is part of Lego's goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 37% by 2032. The site will employ over 1,700 people in molding, processing, and packing machinery once completed. The Virginia facility will be Lego's second plant in North America, with the first located in Monterrey, Mexico.
