Curious if anyone has the scoop on what is being manufactured at the Pratt and Whitney factory east of the Arboretum. Looks like a huge facility from the satellite imagery. Has me curious what they are making and if there is any public information on how many they are employing.

Nov 20, 2023 · The $100 million in incentives that were given to Pratt and Whitney is supposed to trickle down and lead to even more than that in revenue. This scheme rarely works.

EHS standards are really good for new equipment these days. Hazardous chemicals were on their way out decades ago, and those that remain are very carefully controlled.
