A major expansion of Solar Turbines Company in Broken Arrow will mean the hiring of more than 50 new employees at the manufacturing plant.

The $32 million expansion is being accomplished with incentives provided by the city of Broken Arrow.

Solar Turbines provides energy solutions, specializing in gas turbine systems for power generation, oil, and gas industries, and offers services like equipment upgrades, installation, and lifecycle support. The expansion will require a $32 million capital investment and will create an additional 52 new full-time jobs, according to a report by the Tulsa Flyer.

The expansion will total 38,000-square feet and the assistance from Broken Arrow came recently during a city council meeting. The incentive package will use proceeds from a 1% economic development fee collected on Public Service Company of Oklahoma bills.
