What Accu-Precision Announced

The expansion was unveiled October 6 at a downtown event, and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade laid out the numbers the same day. Accu-Precision currently employs about 70 people, all in Colorado. The company says new contracts with a major aerospace prime contractor are driving the growth.

The state's Economic Development Commission approved up to about $1.7 million in performance-based job growth tax credits, paid over eight years only if the company actually creates the jobs and hits the salary targets. The company also considered Ohio before choosing Colorado Springs. Company president Mike McCue said the company is looking forward to "attracting the best and the brightest" in the region.

Some local coverage put the count at 123 or "more than 100." We use the state's figure, up to 133, from the incentive agreement itself. The jobs arrive across three phases, not all at once.

💼 The Jobs: Who They'll Need

The state lists four kinds of roles: manufacturing technicians, machine operators, engineers and supervisors. For a shop that cuts, forms and assembles aerospace parts, that points toward people with CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, quality inspection and production leadership experience.

The $73,032 figure is an average across every new position, engineers included. Entry-level operator pay will likely start below it and engineering pay above it. The company has not published wage ranges for individual roles, so treat the average as a signal of the overall quality of these jobs rather than a starting offer.

🗺️ Where the Plant Will Sit

According to The Gazette, county assessor records place the site southeast of the Colorado Springs Airport near Marksheffel and Drennen roads, on land a company affiliate bought in 2022. It is close to Peak Innovation Park but outside it. For anyone living in Security-Widefield, Fountain, Powers or the east side, that is an easy commute down Powers Boulevard or Marksheffel.
