CHANTILLY, VA-Eight states have been invited to bid for new investment from Rolls-Royce. The British manufacturer, most famous for its luxury cars, is expanding its aerospace manufacturing operations and is looking at several possible sites in the US as well as globally. Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia are in the running.

This “RFQ is part of an ongoing evaluation process, which is intended to provide the company with options as it positions itself for the future,” says James Guyette, president and CEO of Rolls-Royce North America, in a statement. The eight identified states have 60 days to submit a bid to Rolls-Royce.

The company provided little additional detail as to why these eight states were invited to submit a bid, the size of the investment or even the specific nature of the manufacturing activity. Also, it is unclear whether it is seeking to build one or more factories. The company did not return calls.
