NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — An upcoming expansion is underway for the Canon Virginia facility in Newport News.
Governor Youngkin announced the expansion will support the company's new silk protein isolation system, which is one of the company's first ventures outside of the image-related products it's primarily known for.
The company will be retraining 30 current employees to staff the new line, the governor says.
