After seven years of entertaining well-heeled suitors - only to be left at the altar - the much-touted Pooler megasite has finally found its match.

Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas Inc. will locate a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on a portion of the megasite, ultimately creating 500 jobs and investing $325 million.

Gov. Sonny Perdue and Mitsubishi Power Systems senior vice president Dave Walsh made the announcement Monday at the plant's groundbreaking near the intersections of Interstates 95 and 16.
