After receiving state tax credit, Flexjet to add 976 new jobs in Richmond Hts.

Flexjet will expand its operations in Richmond Heights, Ohio, after receiving an $18.6 million state payroll tax credit approved this week by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority. The company plans to add 976 full-time jobs by December 31, 2031, including more than 300 positions relocating from Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Flexjet, which opened a $50 million global headquarters in September 2023 at 26980 Curtiss-Wright Parkway in the Cuyahoga County Airport, says the expansion will double its campus size. The project includes a new administrative building, expanded pilot training, a new auditorium, additional hangars, and a return of a restaurant, following the demolition of earlier dining facilities.
