Key Takeaways:

Boom Aerospace chose Greensboro, North Carolina, as the site for its Overture Superfactory, a 400,000-square-foot facility expected to create over 2,400 jobs by 2032.
North Carolina was selected due to its established aerospace industry cluster, a deep and diverse talent pool, and favorable business costs.
The state's Economic Development Partnership provided a high-yield Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) worth up to $87.2 million over 20 years, contingent on Boom's job creation and investment targets.
This strategic partnership is projected to contribute over $32.3 billion to North Carolina's economy, enabling Boom to allocate its own capital directly to aircraft development.
