Summary
Mayor Jeremy Grimm reported that Timberline Helicopters held a groundbreaking for a new 50,000-square-foot facility and plans a $13,000,000 investment at the Sandpoint airport that he said will create 24 new positions and expand headquarters operations.
Mayor Jeremy Grimm told the Sandpoint City Council on May 21 that Timberline Helicopters held a groundbreaking the same day for a new facility at the Sandpoint airport.
Grimm said Timberline — a company he described as started locally and now employing more than 100 people in several countries — plans a $13,000,000 investment in a 50,000‑square‑foot facility on the airport’s east side and expects to hire 24 new employees, including several A&P mechanics.
The mayor framed the development as an example of incremental, local economic growth that diversifies Sandpoint’s economy. No formal council action was required or taken on the announcement.
