Overview
- Janicki announced Tuesday that it will buy 180 acres in AgriTech Park in northeast Great Falls to build an approximately $800 million campus of up to 2 million square feet.
- The company says the campus will add about 1,000 jobs within five years and exceed 2,000 positions at full buildout to support aerospace, defense and space contracts.
- Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with the first phase targeted to open by the end of 2027 and local officials are finalizing tax incentives and permits.
- Great Falls leaders and the Great Falls Development Alliance credit shovel-ready land, local partnerships and incentive talks with helping Janicki choose the city over Idaho finalists.
- Officials expect near-term effects on the regional economy including construction work, new supply-chain firms, demand for housing and roles for locally trained engineers who previously lacked in-state jobs.
