Greensboro is rising, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI). Boom Supersonic’s recent expansion, along with significant investments from Marshall USA and HondaJet, is set to bring hundreds of high-paying jobs to our community and solidify Greensboro’s position as a leader in aviation and aerospace innovation.
Boom Supersonic has completed the construction of its new manufacturing facility in Greensboro, where it will produce the world’s first privately developed supersonic commercial jetliners. This milestone comes after the successful test of Boom’s XB-1, proving the feasibility of supersonic travel beyond military applications. With a production target of 33 jets per year, Boom’s investment in Greensboro represents a significant step forward in our region’s aviation technology and economic growth.

Adding to the momentum, Marshall USA has announced plans for a $50 million investment in a state-of-the-art C-130 maintenance, overhaul, and repair facility at PTI. Expected to open in early 2025, this facility will create 240 high-paying jobs, further enhancing our region’s status as a national hub for aerospace excellence.

This project will bring 280 additional jobs to our community, reinforcing Greensboro’s reputation as a premier destination for aerospace development and advanced manufacturing.

The expansion of Boom Supersonic, Marshall USA, and HondaJet underscores the importance of strategic economic development and forward-thinking leadership. These projects bring high-paying jobs and position Greensboro as a key player in the global aerospace industry. This is a testament to what visionary planning and strong business partnerships can achieve.
