Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, Gov. Youngkin released the following statement:
“My administration and the partners in this project have worked in good faith over the last few months to give union workers a substantial role in this project.
Today, labor leadership backtracked on that progress and announced their opposition to a project that creates 30,000 jobs, including 12,000 construction-trade jobs.
Virginia is a right-to-work state and unreasonable demands from union leaders will not derail this project.
I will continue to work with the General Assembly to complete this opportunity and bring $12 billion in economic contributions that will fund shared priorities in Virginia.”
