City Council Approves A Development Agreement For Facility Growth

The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, City Council voted on October 6 to initiate negotiations that would lead to a development agreement between the City and FlightSafety for expansion of their facility in Broken Arrow. Exact terms of the agreement will be worked out between the City Council, city staff and FlightSafety executive team.

Rick Armstrong, VP of Simulation states, “FlightSafety is committed to our plan of expanding our facility in Broken Arrow. We have forecasted the need to expand our facilities by 50% to support our strategic growth plan. This expansion requires space for manufacturing, product development and customer coordination; our new facility design will allow our engineers, software developers, production teams and program managers to work collaboratively to support our customers.”

FlightSafety is committed to Broken Arrow with the approval of this agreement. Broken Arrow is attractive to our 700 Teammates. The new location has excellent access to transportation as well as hotel and entertainment infrastructure which is important to the over 1,000 visiting business partners that FlightSafety brings to Broken Arrow each year.

We appreciate their support in  making this project a reality.
