New Panasonic Plant Will Be Located Near DIA

DENVER (CBS4) - Panasonic is bringing hundreds of jobs to the Denver metro area.

The tech company is building a new facility at the Peña Station Rail Stop near Denver International Airport.

It will be an operations and assembly facility with 300 workers.

"This is great not just for Denver but it's great for Adams County, for Arapahoe County. But it's really going to be great, I think, for the whole region and ultimately the whole state," Gov. John Hickenlooper said.

The new Panasonic plant is expected to open by mid-2016.
