WestRock Company will invest $248.4 million in its manufacturing operations in the City of Covington and Alleghany County, Virginia, over a five-year period. These investments will be used to purchase new equipment designed to improve productivity at the paper mill and extruding facility, as well as to increase employee training.
WestRock will receive funding from the Virginia Jobs Investment Program to support the retraining of 60 existing employees on the new equipment. Virginia successfully competed against several states for the project.
