Today, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity awarded Northrop Grumman a post-performance tax reduction for its expansion in Utah. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program (EDTIF). As part of the agreement, Northrop Grumman projects to add over 1,200 new, high-paying jobs with a continued investment in Utah during the next 20 years.

This announcement was an incentives-focused continuation of EDCUtah’s previous Project Unity.

“We’re proud to welcome Northrop Grumman’s expansion in Utah. Our state has a strong tradition in aerospace and defense, and Northrop Grumman has had an integral role in its history,” said Gov. Cox. “Northrop Grumman is a major employer in Utah and has created many high-skilled jobs, particularly in engineering, technology, and manufacturing. Utah has a skilled and well-educated workforce in these fields, which is not only a talent pool Northrop Grumman can tap into, but they’ve also played a role in fostering the development of a skilled workforce by supporting STEM education and programs. This synergistic relationship is one we look forward to continuing.”

“Northrop Grumman, a longtime technology innovation leader in the state, has chosen to expand its footprint in Utah, and we’re thrilled,” said Ryan Starks, executive director of the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity. “Utah’s strategic location in the western U.S. has logistical advantages for defense and aerospace and access to efficient transportation and resources. Northrop Grumman’s operations in Utah rely on local suppliers and subcontractors, and we look forward to supporting the company’s growth and seeing the positive ripple effect throughout the state’s supply chain.”

A proven technology powerhouse and systems integrator, Northrop Grumman is a leading global aerospace and defense technology company. Driven by a shared purpose to solve its customers’ toughest problems, the company performs with speed and discipline, scaling its facilities to deliver the capabilities its customers need to respond to growing threats. The company continuously attracts top talent and was named one of the world’s best employers by Forbes, among others.

Northrop Grumman has a rich history spanning over eight decades in Utah. The company is now the largest private sector aerospace and defense employer in Utah, with locations across the state.

“Northrop continues to invest in northern Utah.” said Chris Roybal, president of the Northern Utah Economic Alliance. “This significant expansion sends a message that they are confident in our workforce. We look forward to their continued success in our market.”

“For years, Northrop Grumman has been an anchor employer in Utah’s robust aerospace and defense industry,” said Scott Cuthbertson, president and CEO of EDCUtah. “It’s exciting to see its continued growth in several communities across the Wasatch Front.”

The Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah) are pleased to announce that Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company (P&G) plans to bring at least 100 new high-paying jobs to rural Utah during the next 20 years. Capital expenditures associated with the project are $400 million.

“Procter & Gamble is a well-known company with brands that are in almost all Utah households,” said Ryan Starks, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity. “We’re excited they have decided to expand in Box Elder County, and we wish the company success as they continue to grow.”

P&G is a multinational corporation that manufactures consumer products in countries throughout the world. The company produces products in the cleaning, laundry, paper, beauty care, and health care segments. P&G’s brands have been trusted in millions of living rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms for generations. For over 180 years, the company has committed to making people’s lives better in small but meaningful ways.

The Procter & Gamble Box Elder facility was established in 2010 and has expanded multiple times. It currently operates on approximately 750 acres of land, with over 40 acres under its roof. Today, over 500 employees work at the site supporting the company’s efforts across P&G’s Paper, Baby Care, and Feminine Care businesses.

“We are excited to expand our operations in Box Elder County to meet the growing demand for our products and serve our consumers,” said Seth Garner, senior director of Product Supply Manufacturing, Box Elder Plant. “We’re grateful to the Box Elder County community, a place we have called home since 2010, for their continued support, and we look forward to many years of partnership and growth.”

P&G may receive up to 10% of the additional state taxes it will pay over the 20-year life of the agreement in the form of a Utah Legislature-authorized Rural Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (REDTIF) tax credit (U.C.A. 63N-2-106(2)). Each year P&G meets the criteria in its contract with the state, it will qualify for a portion of the total tax credit.

“We are thoroughly impressed by Procter & Gamble’s continued investment in Box Elder County and their commitment to being a world-class corporate citizen,” said Scott Cuthbertson, president and CEO of EDCUtah. “The company’s ongoing diligence in resource stewardship and quality job growth makes them an ideal partner in Utah’s goal for economic prosperity.”

Stephanie Pack, senior business development manager, led Project Gemini for EDCUtah.
