From KSDK: Boeing announced Friday it will be partnering with the St. Louis Regional Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Center to open a brand new manufacturing facility in north St. Louis City.
Boeing gave $5 million to the project.
The new manufacturing facility in north St. Louis will serve different industries including aerospace, agriculture and construction.
“This new facility will have workstreams across workforce development, developing the talent and future the most advanced R&D that you can imagine in manufacturing, and production and prototyping capability for industry,” AMICSTL Board of Directors Chair Dennis Muilenberg said.
Boeing officials said there’s really no limit on what this new manufacturing facility can do.
“We do some commercial operations here in the St. Louis site, but we do a lot of defense as well. But there are opportunities to impact both of those worlds with this one place, so it’s exciting,” Chris Bray with Boeing said. St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones said it was very important to focus on bringing more jobs to north St. Louis.
