Falcon Field Employment Center
A
thriving airport, convenient freeway access, existing aerospace
and technology companies, surrounded by executive and affordable
housing communities, combined with land development and building
availability create the perfect location for companies to locate
and prosper- the Falcon Field Business Center. Mesa's Falcon
Field Airport serves as the economic catalyst for the Falcon
Field Employment Center.
In 2011, Falcon Field was the 5th busiest general aviation
airport in the country and had over 750 based aircraft. More
than 105 businesses call Falcon Field home, and they employ over
1,000 people. More than 13,000 people are employed by businesses
in the off-airport Falcon Field employment area. Each year over $2.3 billion is contributed to the
local economy by the airport and its businesses. It is truly an
economic engine for the community.
An
impressive group of major employers representing the
aerospace/aviation, high-tech, manufacturing and software
industry clusters are
located
in this employment center. Boeing's Apache Helicopter facility
is the largest company in the area employing more than 4,700.
Located within the Falcon Field Employment Center are more than
ten industrial/office parks with both land and building
availability for development and occupancy. The Red Mountain
Freeway (Loop 202) provides access to a growing population of
more than 1.5 million residents within a 30-minute drive.
