Finally…the mysterious Project Chinook is officially unveiled to reveal a new and newsworthy company locating in Moses Lake.
“Carbon fiber manufacturer SGL Group and automaker BMW Group announced today that Moses Lake is the location for a new joint venture carbon fiber manufacturing facility. “
Construction on the first phase of the Moses Lake facility will begin in June, 2010 on 60 acres just east of the Grant County International Airport in Moses Lake. The estimated investment for this phase is $100 million with 200 construction workers on site. When completed the facility will employ 80 people that will produce several thousand tons of carbon fiber each year that will be sent to Germany where it will be woven into fiber sheets and shaped into panels to form the chassis for BMW’s all electric Magacity Vehicle.

This is another great win for Moses Lake and Grant County and should open the door to other related industries. Kudos to Terry Brewer and the rest of the Grant County EDC staff for coordinating this effort to bring another manufacturing employer to our community.
