Company to add more than 300 aerospace jobs in Ogden thanks to a tax incentive
OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) — An aerospace company that has done business in Utah for several decades is planning to add more than 300 jobs in Ogden after the city granted it a tax incentive. Williams International — a company that develops gas turbine engines for jets, uncrewed aircraft, and cruise missiles — is seeking to increase its more than 900 employees in Ogden by a third, opening the doors for hundreds of new high-paying positions. The business is also expected to invest more than $1 billion in its Utah operations over the next several years, according to a city press release. Ogden City Mayor Ben Nadolski called the company 'an anchor employer' in the community, saying it provides 'high-quality, family-supporting jobs for our residents.' 'This expansion embodies 'The Ogden Way' of creating economic opportunity and building a community where all can thrive,' Nadolski said. The announcement comes after the Ogden City Redevelopment Agency Board (RDA) approved a Tax Increment Financing incentive to assist in the company's expansion. The board approved up to $22 million for the financing incentive, with as much as $17 million used to fund electrical infrastructure projects that will allow for Williams International, and other local businesses, to expand their capacities. The board also committed to invest $5.5 million for a new waterline at the Ogden-Hinckley airport. This incentive will be funded by the company's future property taxes following its expansion, city authorities say. 'The use of TIF for Williams' expansion aligns with the Airport Community Reinvestment Area goals of generating new employment, growing the property tax base, providing public infrastructure, and encouraging the development of vacant land,' the city's press release reads. The timeline of the company's expansion, and when jobs might open for applications, is not immediately clear at this time. However, the company's website more than 40 openings.
