Yes ... you read that right. Per day. That seems a little exaggerated, right? Well, it's not. American workplace culture (and elsewhere) is ripe with documented evidence of acts of incivility…
Hey, we had a really nice, strong economic development announcement this morning from the Economic Development Commission.
AccuPrecision selected Colorado Springs for a $68.15 million manufacturing expansion project.
This project was announced just a few short hours ago over at the Suites downtown, and it was a very good celebration and a very good indication that advanced manufacturing or manufacturing in advanced industries, however you want to look at it, our aerospace, cybersecurity industry, national defense conversations continue to strengthen here in the region.
They chose Colorado Springs over locations in Ohio and elsewhere, and they liked the workforce.
They liked the environment and the ecosystem that surrounds an employer like that here in Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
They're reporting to have a net increase of jobs in the region of 133 new positions with an average wage of about $73,000 annually.
And, of course, up from there, it's about 107 percent above average wages here in El Paso County.
The positions include manufacturing technicians, operators, engineers, and supervisors.
So their CEO, Mike McHugh, was on deck to kind of make the announcement with the EDC.
And the space around our national defense and manufacturing components really steadfast here in the region.
At some point soon, we'll have Mike come out here and explain just exactly what AccuPrecision is.
And maybe you hear something on that particular program that you would like to get a little closer look at.
in terms of opportunity for a job or maybe even doing business with this new group coming to town.
So they're looking at sites out by the Pikes Peak Innovation Area out by the airport, and it's going to be a greenfield project, so new construction projects.
They're still yet to select their general contractor and architects, but he was very specific in saying that they wanted to create a very strong environment for that particular workforce to work in and lending credibility towards productivity and enhancement and innovation within that site.
Congratulations to Colorado Springs for another great win here in Southern Colorado.
