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 1,750 jobs by 2030.
North Carolina was selected due to its established aerospace cluster, a growing and diverse talent pool, and competitive business costs, aligning with Boom's need for skilled human capital.
The state's Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) played a key role in attracting Boom through a high-yield Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) that offers incentives for job creation and investment.
The partnership is projected to inject at least $32.3 billion into North Carolina's economy over 20 years, with Boom needing to meet specific job creation and investment targets to receive the grant reimbursements.
