Aerospace company Pratt & Whitney plans to invest $386 million into its Columbus plant on Macon Road, pledging to create more than 500 jobs over five years.

The announcement, made Tuesday in Atlanta on Valentine’s Day by Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, will add to the roughly 1,200 employees already at the Columbus complex, which has expanded several times since coming to the city in 1984. The new jobs will be in the areas of administrative, supervisory, technical support, production and maintenance.

“Pratt & Whitney has maintained a presence in Muscogee County since 1984 and this latest expansion speaks to Georgia’s support for our robust aerospace industry,” Deal said in a statement. “Georgia’s pro-business structural framework and deep talent pool help to retain industry leaders such as Pratt & Whitney. By adding these new high-quality manufacturing jobs, Pratt & Whitney is making a significant investment in the Columbus community and we look forward to strengthening this longstanding partnership as the company continues to grow.”

These are the type of high paying manufacturing jobs that Columbus needs. This is huge for the city.

P&W are notorious for chronic layoffs over the years and it will unfortunately be the same scenario here.
This has been ongoing for decades and many threw in the towel and just move on to more permanent positions elsewhere.
Talk to any ex employee that has been there for any extended amount of time and they will tell you the same thing.
Nothing new here.
