Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Virginia Expanding

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety expects to complete a $30 million expansion at its Ruckersville campus by late 2014.

Construction of new vehicle testing facilities began in March.

The project includes a larger outdoor test track, a domed vehicle testing area, an office building and a smaller support building.

President and CEO Paul Perrone tells The Daily Progress that the institute expects to hire an additional 10 employees when the expansion is completed.

The institute is the home of the “crash-test dummy.”
