While this one is not 100% official yet - City is in final negotiations of the development agreement - it is apparently close enough for this website posting by the Design/Builder on the project(s).

Force Options 360 Design & Build – Patterson Enterprises, Inc.

The company Patterson is contracted with - Force Options 360 - is a provider of extremely high end tactical training (Firearms, Self Defense, Tactical Medicine Practices, Protection and more) to public and private law enforcement, military, and fire departments. They apparently also offer research and evaluation into new defense related, and law enforcement equipment, including explosives. Some of these may be new industries they are entering into it from what I can see.

Three components apparently:

75K sf Research and Training Facility on the Casa Grande Airport Grounds - the current Fire Station (a trailer on site) will be incorporated into this facility.

A complete upgrade of the Casa Grande Shooting Range to World Class resort, LE certified levels including a new clubhouse and landscaping to give it a resort feel.

On the Tohono Odham reservation south of town what they are calling an "Energetic Testing Facility" where low level munitions delivery systems will be tested and trained on....apparently there is a real shortage for these types of facilities and Aerospace and Defense companies must wait up to 18 months to test their systems now.


1300 jobs all told is what they say in 4-6 years and 340 million dollar total investment.

All of the recent announcement really do paint a varied economic base in CG - everything from the Lucid Motors EV plant, to the Dreamport Villages Amusement Park, Phoenixmart B2B convention center and marketplace (under construction now with just this week saying again open in fall 2018), a state of the art LKQ Auto Dismantling facility (under construction now), and Attesa - the formula one race complex and research facilities.

Over 20K jobs if they all pan out - even half that many will drastically change the landscape here - and there is still more in the wings.
