The move will create about 70 new jobs and retain another 460. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Armada Hoffler Properties Inc. of Virginia Beach will build the project on 18 acres at a new industrial park in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake.\u00a0Construction is scheduled to start by the end of the year and be complete in early 2015. Houston-based Oceaneering has signed a 15-year lease on the building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A major Chesapeake employer, Oceaneering provides engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry. Oceaneering&#8217;s marine services unit has operated in Chesapeake for the last 13 years. It focuses on submarines, deep submergence systems and air cushion landing craft, primarily for the U.S. Navy, its main customer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Chesapeake Department of Economic Development beat out North Carolina for the project. Gov. Bob McDonnell approved several incentives to retain Oceaneering, including a $750,000 grant from the Governor\u2019s Opportunity Fund as well as a $750,000 performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Partnership program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hamptonroads.com\/2013\/11\/chesapeake-council-oks-plan-companys-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>The Virginian-Pilot<\/em><\/a> reported that the Chesapeake City Council voted on Nov. 19 to authorize $2.2 million in state and city grants to help Oceaneering become the first tenant at the Greenbrier industrial park. In addition to the grant from the Governor\u2019s Opportunity Fund, the package includes a $650,000 Virginia Department of Transportation Access grant and an $800,000 award from the city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Oceaneering is a major employer in Chesapeake, and with this project will create new jobs that exceed the annual prevailing wage in the region, and create new capabilities that support projected customer needs and its current highly skilled workforce. This expansion is a great win for Virginia and Hampton Roads,&#8221; \u00a0McDonnell said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<em>Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Google Maps<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news for the city of Chesapeake.
