Chesterfield Council advances Project Maple Leaf, cites $70 million investment and 53 jobs
Summary
At first reading on Nov. 6, a county staff representative said Project Maple Leaf would invest $70,000,000 in Chesterfield County and create 53 jobs with starting wages around $30 an hour; council approved the first reading by voice vote.
At the Nov. 6 meeting, Miss Lear told the Chesterfield County Council that a company planning to locate in the county would invest $70,000,000, create 53 jobs and pay a lowest reported wage of about $30 per hour.
"This is a company that's planning on coming to the county and they're going to be investing $70,000,000 bringing 53 jobs and the lowest wage will be around $30 an hour," Lear said during the first-reading presentation. The council gave the item first reading by title and moved it forward following a motion and second.
The presentation was made as part of several economic-development items on the agenda, and council members recorded their support in a voice vote at the meeting. The item was advanced on first reading; further approvals, incentives or contract details were not announced during the public session.
Council did not provide additional specifics in the meeting about the company's identity, the precise timeline for investment or whether incentive agreements would be required; those details were recorded as "first reading by title only" on the agenda. No formal economic-incentive agreement was adopted at the Nov. 6 meeting.
