LS Cable & System is advancing two manufacturing investments in Chesapeake, Virginia: a subsea and underground cable plant already under construction and now at nearly 100 feet tall, and a second facility for copper, magnet wire, and rare earth magnets, with groundbreaking expected later this year. Together the projects are estimated to create 700–800 jobs and target full operation by 2028.
