Boeing Co. is proposing an expansion of its Mesa manufacturing campus that could create hundreds of new jobs and boost production of advanced composite components for U.S. military aircraft.
The Arlington, Virginia-based aerospace giant plans to build a nearly 268,000-square-foot fabrication center on a 38-acre industrial site near the northeast corner of Greenfield and McDowell roads, according to documents filed with the city of Mesa.
Boeing’s proposed fabrication center will be built adjacent to the company’s existing 158,000-square-foot manufacturing facility on its Mesa campus and be used for “fabrication of highly specialized carbon military parts,” according to a project narrative.
The fabrication center is expected to employ 260 workers across two shifts. The company’s existing manufacturing facility employs 240 people, the project narrative shows.

They'll be creating hundreds of high-paying jobs that support our troops
It is sad that the US spends so much of taxpayer monies on Industrial Military Complex.
Imagine what the country could be if the $1 trillion x year spend (aka wasted) on weaponry would be spent on the people of the US in infrastructure, healthcare, and housing?
