Summary
The council approved an agreement with CSI Aerospace to locate a manufacturing facility in the South Broken Arrow Innovation District; the firm employs 108 workers and is expected to create 50 new full-time jobs over five years with an estimated $26.5 million economic impact.
The Broken Arrow City Council approved an agreement June 2 with CSI Aerospace to locate a manufacturing facility in the city’s Innovation District, city officials said on the City of Broken Arrow’s June 2 “City Council Rewind.”
Vice Mayor Johnny Parks said CSI Aerospace will bring an existing workforce of 108 employees and is expected to create about 50 new full-time jobs over a five-year period. Parks described the project’s total economic impact in the Innovation District as approximately $26.5 million.
Parks said the company will be the first manufacturing facility in the Innovation District, on a site selected with assistance from the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce. He identified the site as “right off 100 and Eleventh Street.”
The council’s action authorizes an agreement with the company; the transcript did not provide vote tallies or the text of any incentive package. Parks and the host stressed the development’s role in accelerating activity in South Broken Arrow and supporting planned Innovation District goals.
The council discussed the item as part of a broader economic development update; Parks noted the Chamber’s involvement in selecting property for the Innovation District.
The transcript did not include contract terms, incentives, or a recorded roll-call vote; those documents are posted with the council’s meeting packet on the city website.
