Bombardier Inc. will hire another 400 workers in Wichita, Kansas, in exchange for state and local incentives, a Sedgwick County official said, offsetting some of the losses from Boeing Co.’s planned shutdown in the city.
Kansas officials plan to announce $16 million of incentives for Bombardier at a news briefing tomorrow, Dave Unruh, chairman of the county’s Board of Commissioners, said in an interview. The news follows Boeing’s decision to bolt from Wichita, where its 80-year-old operation employs 2,160, by the end of 2013.
