CHANUTE — Orizon Aerostructures, which manufactures components for several global aircraft firms, is coming to Chanute.

The deal — projected to bring up to 150 jobs to the community — was clinched Monday when Chanute city commissioners approved an incentive package valued at $2.6 million.

Orizon will move into the former Hitchhiker plant near the Martin and Osa Johnson Airport, with plans to build its own 70,000-square-foot facility soon thereafter. Construction is expected to start later this year.
