General Electric Specialty Control Plant is a 115 acres (47 ha) historic factory complex located in Waynesboro, Virginia. The property, a former airport, was acquired by General Electric in 1953. The Waynesboro plant was one of some 120 individual operating departments created as part of a decentralization effort by the General Electric Corporation. The Specialty Control Plant was responsible for the development of breakthrough technologies in areas ranging from America's military efforts to space travel to computer technology.
The facility was sold to GENICOM on October 21, 1983. In 2000, GENICOM entered bankruptcy and the building was sold to the newly formed Solutions Way Management. The substantially downsized GENICOM operated as a tenant through its 2003 merger that formed TallyGenicom until a further bankruptcy and dissolution in 2009.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Solutions Way Management now rents much of the facility to companies for light manufacturing, warehousing and distribution.
