Hadrian’s new factory in Mesa is projected to create hundreds of jobs. The city and state may pay the weapons manufacturer to fill them with locals.

Mesa City Council voted Oct. 20 to sign a development agreement with the company to reimburse $750 for the first 100 employees it hires that live in town, after the plant hits buildout and workforce milestones.

The facility, which will make components of missiles, jets, rockets and other munitions, is expected to begin production in January and reach “full manufacturing capability” in the first quarter of 2026, according to a company spokesperson. It will occupy 270,000 square feet in The Cubes at Mesa Gateway at 10101 E. Pecos Road, developed by CRG Integrated Real Estate Solutions.
