“Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority (VCEDA) is proud to continue supporting VFP’s growth in Duffield with a $312,500 workforce development grant and a $3 million loan to the Scott County Economic Development Authority for equipment acquisition as part of this expansion,” said VCEDA Executive Director Jonathan Belcher.

The project, which marks VFP’s third and largest expansion in five years, will add 200 new jobs in Southwest Virginia. Coinciding with VFP’s 60th anniversary, the expansion positions the company to meet growing demand for its products across the Commonwealth and beyond. Construction is expected to begin December, 2025.

“This expansion will double production and strengthen our ability to serve the data center and utility power industries,” said Scott File, President and CEO of VFP. “Our success is built on the dedication of our employee-owners and the support of local and state partners.”

Two new buildings are coming to Duffield, doubling VFP’s manufacturing capacity for metal and concrete structures. The expansion is backed by a groundbreaking $1 million award from the new Workforce Housing Economic Development Incentive Pilot Program—an initiative created by the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission in partnership with Scott County. The funds will help launch a major housing development that will leverage additional investments and include at least 50 units reserved for households earning 80-150% of the Area Median Income.

“For six decades, VFP has been a cornerstone of Virginia’s manufacturing strength and innovation,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “This growth in Scott County is proof that when businesses double down on Virginia, they grow, thrive, and create new opportunities for hardworking Virginians.”

VFP was founded in 1965 and is headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia. The company designs and manufactures custom building solutions to protect critical equipment. VFP’s product range spans from heavyweight concrete enclosures to lightweight, flexible metal shelters, all fully customizable to meet diverse client needs. Their shelters serve utility providers, municipalities, and broadband companies, and are used in all 50 U.S. states, 82 countries, and on all seven continents.
