Hitachi Rail announced last week that it chose a site near Hagerstown for a 307,000-square-foot assembly plant, where it will produce 256 rail cars for Metro starting in 2024.
Metro’s contract stipulated that its 8000-series cars must be built in the Mid-Atlantic region, which created a coveted opportunity for jurisdictions seeking skilled and increasingly rare manufacturing jobs. The company said this week that it worked with multiple counties in Maryland and Virginia, but in the end, the Maryland site was the only space available to fit the needs of the plant.
“For competitive reasons, we do not discuss confidential details of proposals that Virginia may or may not be competing for,” she said in a statement. “It seems like there is a commitment to growth in the region, really making this a business that’s not a kind of one-and-done under one contract, but actually they want to have a larger service mandate,” Germán said.
By selecting Washington County, part of the state’s One Maryland tax credit program that prioritizes job growth in certain jurisdictions, Hitachi Rail also can earn up to $5 million in income tax credits for hiring at least 50 people to jobs that pay at least 120 percent of minimum wage.
