“Those areas are where the plant expansion footprint would be,” City Engineer Bill Payne told the Industrial Development Board.
VW officials said there is no decision on expansion of the plant or the nearby supplier park, and city officials noted the timetable for any addition belongs to the German automaker.
One site involves an adjacent tract where the existing plant could be mirrored, VW officials have said.
The other site is next to two buildings in the VW supplier park. VW would like to add more suppliers to its park.
