By Joshua Jelks @dynamitejimi · On August 16, 2018

Gov. Nathan Deal announced Wednesday that Jaguar Land Rover Classic will create 75 high-paying jobs, with wages of $80,000 and up, in Chatham County. The new operations hub in Savannah will be Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s first facility in the U.S.

 

 

“Georgia’s business-friendly climate and world-class logistics infrastructure continue to attract industry leaders like Jaguar Land Rover Classic,” said Deal. “I applaud the leadership of Jaguar Land Rover Classic for recognizing the strength of Georgia’s automotive sector and for creating high-wage jobs for our deep talent pool. By choosing Savannah for its first facility outside of Europe, Jaguar Land Rover Classic will enjoy the benefits of close proximity to the Port of Savannah while streamlining services for American customers. We appreciate Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s investment in the Chatham County community and look forward to the growth of this partnership in the years to come.”

Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s new facility will be located near Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and the Port of Savannah, the largest single container terminal in North America. Construction of the new facility will begin in autumn.

The new facility, Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s first facility outside of Europe, will provide access to a range of authentic Jaguar and Land Rover Classic cars, services, parts and experiences. The facility will also include a state-of-the-art 42-bay workshop for comprehensive vehicle health checks, service and repairs for all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles out of production for a decade or more.

Trip Tollison, president and CEO of the Savannah Economic Development Authority, said the investment by Jaguar Land Rover Classic is $15 million. Construction of the new facility will begin in fall 2019.
