The 150,000-square-foot facility, which inspects and repairs airplane parts, was constructed near an existing 370,000-square-foot maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility at a former U.S. Navy air base. Clayco was also awarded an expansion project for this facility. The addition includes a 10,000-square-foot cafeteria/dining hall for the existing facility.
Developed in collaboration with Clayco, Scannell Properties, and the Jacksonville Aviation Authority, the building supports repair, inspection, and servicing of structural and avionics components for U.S. Navy and Air Force platforms.
Commissioned in early 2024, the facility features dedicated general and specialized operations zones, integrated support areas such as offices, training, and break rooms, while still offering a robust site infrastructure including loading docks, service roads, parking, and hazardous material yards. Boeing’s investment expands its operational footprint to over 546,000 sq ft in Jacksonville, amplifying capacity for military aircraft maintenance and reinforcing the region’s role as an aerospace hub.
With more than 300 new high-skilled jobs fueling the regional economy, this facility not only accelerates Boeing’s logistics and maintenance pipeline but also anchors Jacksonville as a strategic node in the U.S. defense-industrial ecosystem.
Boeing already has a major footprint at the airfield and aerospace facility. Its 23-year-old maintenance operation there employs about 350 people on Department of Defense contracts, with a center that does structural repairs. As Boeing begins construction on its second campus at Cecil, it is also a testament to Northeast Florida’s workforce. Our region provides businesses with the greatest skilled and high-tech workers in the state.
