On Friday, LG Energy Solution (LGES), a leading global manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, announced it will invest a total of $5.5 billion to build a battery manufacturing complex in the Pinal County portion of Queen Creek.

"One of our primary objectives as a Board of Supervisors is to bring investment and employment opportunities to Pinal County so that our residents do not have to leave the County to find high-paying jobs.

I am so pleased that we are accomplishing that with LGES. This type of development also brings additional resources to improve roadways and infrastructure for our community."

Mike Goodman - District 2 Supervisor

"I am very pleased to see this significant employment opportunity coming into the County versus endless rooftops and extensions of bedroom communities. I want to thank our County staff, who have been working so diligently on this project for more than a year alongside our partners in the Town of Queen Creek and the Arizona Commerce Authority."

Jeff Serdy - Chairman and District 5 Supervisor

"We embrace LG Energy Solution coming into Pinal County. This type of advanced technology manufacturing is what empowers communities to thrive and prosper. Our residents and the generations to come will experience the benefits for many years into the future."

Leo Lew - County Manager
