RTX’s Pratt & Whitney Announces New $200M Columbus Expansion, Cuts Ribbon on Prior Expansion

Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, is investing $200 million to expand its operations in Columbus, Georgia. The project will initially create 15 new jobs, with more jobs to follow. Along with Pratt & Whitney President Shane Eddy, Columbus Mayor Skip Henderson, and other public and company leaders, Governor Kemp celebrated the announcement of this new investment and the completion of a prior expansion announced in 2023. This previously announced project added nearly 400 new jobs and 81,000 square feet to Pratt & Whitney’s Columbus Engine Center.

“Pratt & Whitney's decision to invest in Georgia immediately after just completing another major expansion is an incredible testament to how companies that operate in our state find reliable, ongoing, and long-term success,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “Throughout its more than forty years in Columbus, Pratt & Whitney has been a valued partner and driver of the impact our aerospace industry is delivering statewide. We're grateful that this partnership will only continue to grow and flourish, benefiting this cutting-edge job creator, the people of Columbus, and all of Georgia.”
