Jaguar Land Rover Classic to Build First U.S. Facility in Savannah

SAVANNAH, GA. — Jaguar Land Rover Classic will open a new operations hub in Savannah, creating 75 new jobs, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced Wednesday. The industrial facility —the British automobile company’s first outside of Europe — will be located near Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and the Port of Savannah. The new facility will house a range of authentic Jaguar and Land Rover Classic cars, as well as offer services, parts and guest experiences. In addition, the facility will include a 42-bay workshop for vehicle health checks, service and repairs for all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles out of production for a decade or more. The investment in the new facility will be more than $10 million and is expected to generate more than $45 million in revenue, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Construction on the operations hub is scheduled to begin in fall 2019.
