Hanover County announced it received confirmation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that it's planning an ICE facility at the 43-acre site, which is near the Bass Pro Shop beside I-95.

The 552,000-square-foot warehouse was built in 2024 as a distribution center for Genpak, a food packaging firm owned by Canadian conglomerate Jim Pattison Group, which owns the property.

The processing facility would add to ICE’s physical presence in Virginia, where it operates detention centers in Farmville and Bowling Green.
