10 Sep 15. Aerojet Rocketdyne (AJRD) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony attended by nearly 200 people including Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, other state and local dignitaries, company leaders and employees, to celebrate the company’s planned expansion that will bring new programs and 85 jobs to the Camden facility. The company’s capital investment for new buildings and renovations on the 1,200-acre site was supported through state and local incentives that included funding, job investment and creation programs, tax exemptions, real estate tax grants, and training reimbursements. The collaboration included the State of Arkansas, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, Calhoun County, Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development and the Camden Area Chamber of Commerce. Today’s ceremony also included a dedication of the 12-megawatt solar field currently under construction by Silicon Ranch Corporation on approximately 100 acres of adjacent land in Highland Industrial Park, in the city of East Camden. Through a unique contract, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation, Ouachita Electric Cooperative Corporation and Southern Arkansas University Tech collaborated to bring the first, large-scale solar project to Arkansas. Once complete, the facility will not only provide clean energy for Aerojet Rocketdyne operations, it will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 2,400 single-family homes.
