Blue Origin Plans $554.8 Million Hutto Campus And 2,000 Jobs

Blue Origin plans a $554.78 million manufacturing campus in Hutto that the company expects to add more than 2,000 jobs over the next decade, alongside an $18.171 million Texas Enterprise Fund grant.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the expansion on October 8. His office said Blue Origin Manufacturing LLC is constructing an advanced manufacturing and operations campus and that the state has extended the company a $10,000 Veteran Created Job Bonus in addition to the grant.

Blue Origin described the campus, called Constellation Park, as a 1.3 million-square-foot complex with multiple facilities that will manufacture satellite and communications equipment.

“Texas has long understood what it takes to lead in space exploration,” Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp said in the company’s October 8 announcement.

The campus will support production for TeraWave, the company’s satellite communications network for enterprise, data center and government customers. It will also expand production for Quartz, a ground communications network that supports low Earth orbit missions.

Blue Origin also plans to manufacture solar arrays, avionics, telecommunications equipment and other satellite hardware at the site.

The company said the projected jobs include manufacturing and related positions. Blue Origin already employs more than 550 people in Texas and traces its operations in the state to the establishment of Launch Site One in 2006.

The state assistance comes through a performance-based grant program. The governor’s office administers the Texas Enterprise Fund through its Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office and uses it for qualifying business relocations or expansions when Texas competes with out-of-state locations.

“Texas is the launchpad to a future of possibilities,” Abbott said in his office’s release.

Neither the governor’s release nor Blue Origin’s announcement provides a campus opening date. The company’s 10-year hiring projection does not mean Hutto will receive all of the announced jobs immediately.

Hutto, TX is a few miles east of Round Rock and NE of Austin.

Austin area is booming.

Tesla GigaTexas, Boring Co in Pville and Bastrop.

Now Blue Origin in Hutto.

Texas as Abbott says is leading the way in tech. Terrafab and XAi are going to college station area.

Hmmm... A high-tech company proposes to create 2K jobs in the I-35 corridor of Texas. How many of those jobs will be filled by American citizens?

[know.your.why]

...satellite and communications equipment.

I'm trying to understand how this fits in to Blues hobbled orbital launch biz after the NG4 hot fire disaster. This part: "...expects to add more than 2,000 jobs over the next decade" and this: "Neither the governor’s release nor Blue Origin’s announcement provides a campus opening date. The company’s 10-year hiring projection does not mean..." seems to set an odd ambience for Blue in todays space 'race' esp with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Personally, I think that BO upper management is crapping their pants during the daytime and getting very little rest at night and Bezos NEVER lets news out of BO good or bad (esp bad). If Musk and Bezos announce that BO resources/employees to be acquired by SpaceX it would not surprise me one bit. Gradatim Ferociter has lost its...ferocity.

I would like a Jobbo at the Hutto campus.

[bobcat62]

Isn’t that Frisco?

[bobcat62]

Those UT Austin Desi F1 students will have employment.

It’s all over. Coppell. Northlake. Flower Mound. I went with my son to a park in Irving to walk his dog and they were playing cricket. The only Injuns we have in East Texas is Caddos and Cherokees.
