City Council Approves A Development Agreement For Facility
Growth
The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, City Council voted on October 6 to
initiate negotiations that would lead to a development agreement
between the City and FlightSafety for expansion of their facility
in Broken Arrow. Exact terms of the agreement will be worked out
between the City Council, city staff and FlightSafety executive
team.
Rick Armstrong, VP of Simulation states, “FlightSafety is
committed to our plan of expanding our facility in Broken Arrow. We
have forecasted the need to expand our facilities by 50% to support
our strategic growth plan. This expansion requires space for
manufacturing, product development and customer coordination; our
new facility design will allow our engineers, software developers,
production teams and program managers to work collaboratively to
support our customers.”
FlightSafety is committed to Broken Arrow with the approval of
this agreement. Broken Arrow is attractive to our 700 Teammates.
The new location has excellent access to transportation as well as
hotel and entertainment infrastructure which is important to the
over 1,000 visiting business partners that FlightSafety brings to
Broken Arrow each year.

Upon negotiation of the agreement with the City of Broken Arrow,
FlightSafety will immediately move forward with the plans for the
new 370,000 square foot, multi-million dollar facility. This has
truly been a collaborative effort of the City of Broken Arrow,
Broken Arrow Economic Development Corporation, and the Oklahoma
Department of Commerce. We appreciate their support in making
this project a reality.
