DANVILLE, VA. (WGHP) – Ford's planned electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility, similar to the one Toyota is building at the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite, might have provided even more jobs to the northern reaches of the Piedmont Triad if not for an apparent intervention by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. The Richmond Times-Dispatch and Danville Register & Bee cited two sources Thursday in reporting that Ford had chosen a site near Danville in Pittsylvania County before Youngkin told the company that the state was withdrawing because he was concerned about Ford's relationship with a Chinese manufacturer.
