A Far West Texas city is pushing to become a manufacturing powerhouse<\/a>\u2014a mission that will officially kick start in fewer than two months with a $20-million development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

El Paso plans to break ground<\/a> on phase one of a planned Advanced Manufacturing District at the El Paso International Airport (ELP) in May, according to a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration. The project will construct a 50,000-square-foot building, including 10,000 square feet of administrative space and 40,000 square feet dedicated to a tenant shell space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

El Paso City Council approved the district\u2019s construction early last year, according to a prior city news release<\/a>. Once complete, the district is expected to bring 4,000 engineering and technology jobs and 13,000 high-skill technical jobs to the area by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phase one will also ultimately include construction of two 100,000-square-foot multi-tenant buildings in addition to the 50,000-square-foot facility, according to the release.<\/p>\n

“Creating high-paying jobs for our community has been one of my top priorities,” Mayor Renard Johnson said in the release. “The Advanced Manufacturing District is a key investment in El Paso\u2019s future, fulfilling that promise by opening doors to life-changing opportunities for our residents.”<\/p>\n

Johnson said the project will not only transform the local economy, but also position El Paso as a national leader in advanced manufacturing and innovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Far West Texas city is pushing to become a manufacturing powerhouse\u2014a mission that will officially kick start…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[1836,1704,85744,138,140,139],"class_list":["post-221557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-el-paso","tag-chronnews","tag-chronstaff","tag-chrontexas","tag-el-paso","tag-el-paso-headlines","tag-el-paso-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
