Josh Stein announced the expansion Oct. 13, 2026.[1] The expansion includes an additional 400,000-square-foot facility for engineering and manufacturing of vehicle launch systems.[1] CEO David Robinson said Corvid's manufacturing space had grown from 8,000 to 800,000 square feet.[1] He said that growth took two and a half years, reflecting customer demand and confidence in the company's people.[1] Corvid previously announced a $30 million Mooresville campus expansion in September 2024.[2] That announcement included 54 new jobs.[2] North Carolina approved a Job Development Investment Grant authorizing potential reimbursement of up to $4,449,750 over 12 years for the new expansion.[1] Payments depend on annual state verification that Corvid has met its incremental job creation and investment targets.[1] ## Why it matters The planned facility would expand the manufacturing operations of a company founded in 2004 as a small modeling and simulation firm.[1] Corvid's launch systems and target solutions support hypersonic testing, weapons evaluation and system validation.[3] ## Sources 1.
