Why this project qualifies
With 250 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears AFT's 100-permanent-job threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). This project also meets AFT's primary-source verification and physical U.S. manufacturing-footprint requirements.

The factory-built housing context.
Factory-Built Housing tracks qualifying U.S. factories and expansions producing manufactured, modular, volumetric, panelized, prefabricated or 3D-produced housing systems. AFT does not attempt to catalog every longstanding manufactured-home plant.
