PteroDynamics Plans Colorado Springs, Colorado, Research & Development Hub
08/05/2021
“We are excited to stand up our new R&D headquarters in Colorado Springs,” said Matthew Graczyk, CEO of PteroDynamics. “We believe this location will enable us to attract world-class engineering talent who will help us continue innovating for years to come. We look forward to becoming a part of the Colorado Springs community and contributing to the economic growth of the State of Colorado.”
The company was awarded Job Growth Incentive Tax Credits from the Economic Development Commission at the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade (OEDIT) by the State of Colorado and expects to create more than 180 jobs in Colorado over the next eight years.
“In addition to a strong aerospace industry and talented workforce, a key aspect of Colorado, recognized by businesses and other state economic development offices, is the tremendous cooperation between research and development (academia), business, federal and state government, and the economic development organizations that propel the aerospace industry ecosystem in Colorado,” said Patrick Meyers, OEDIT Executive Director and State Chief Recovery Officer. “We believe this strength will help PteroDynamics continue to thrive and grow in Colorado Springs and look forward to our continued relationship.”
After conducting a nationwide search, PteroDynamics said it selected Colorado Springs-based upon several key elements: support of the aerospace industry, the ability to conduct extensive flight testing locally, a strong and talented workforce, a stable and competitive business climate, and a high quality of life. PteroDynamics will be leasing an industrial facility located in the Pikes Peak region of El Paso County.
“We are thrilled that Colorado Springs’ commitment to the aerospace industry, our specialized workforce, and our strong business climate made this region the right choice for PteroDynamics,” said Cecilia Harry, Chief Economic Development Officer of the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC. “We are beyond excited to support their initial footprint in the region and help them grow as they integrate into our business community.”
