TUCSON, Ariz. — There’s an infusion of jobs on the way for Tucson’s Southside. It comes from a new battery factory being built near Raytheon.

Business and elected leaders came to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new plant for American Battery Factory. The company says phase one should employ about three hundred people. That could become a thousand jobs when the plant is complete.

“It validates that we're part of the new green economy. I can tell you that our pipeline represents about 40% of these types of jobs. Yes, this one will lead to four, lead to six. We expect a lot to come out of this.”
