Anduril Industries plans to invest more than $900 million to build the facility on 500 acres in Pickaway County near Rickenbacker International Airport.

Anduril Industries will build a five-million-square-foot facility called Arsenal-1, hoping to bring more than 4,000 new production and service jobs to Ohio by 2035.

Anduril Industries announced Jan. 16 that it will build its first “hyperscale” manufacturing facility in central Ohio, a project that will span more than 5 million square feet at full scale and eventually create 4,000 direct jobs.

U.S. defense contractor Anduril Industries is preparing to build a massive advanced manufacturing facility in central Ohio, adding a planned 4,000 jobs to the area’s burgeoning high-tech sector, state officials announced Thursday.
