States with Population 6+ to 10 million

Three states with populations 6+ to 10 million earned Silver Shovel honors. They, too, will be adding lots of jobs related to EVs, batteries, and semiconductors. But just because we can, we’ll talk first about toys.

One of our Manufacturing Projects of the Year is the LEGO Group’s plan to spend a billion dollars and hire nearly 1,800 people in Silver Shovel winner Virginia, making the distinctive building toys that kids can’t get enough of. The company liked the nearly shovel-ready site with room to grow, and the fact that an Amazon fulfillment center will be a neighbor was very attractive.

Virginia’s Silver Shovel honor isn’t just fun and games, though. The state is tallying hundreds of new jobs in distribution, at World Class Distribution, Amazon, AutoZone, Lowe’s, and MS International. A DroneUp expansion will fly high in Virginia Beach, and Plenty Unlimited is spending $300 million
