Great Falls reacts to Janicki Industries’ $800M investment
The project will add 2 million square feet of production space and is expected to create 1,000 jobs in five years.
- Janicki Industries announced plans for an $800 million manufacturing campus in Great Falls, Montana, with 2 million square feet of production space designed to create at least 1,000 jobs within five years.
- President John Janicki said the company is pursuing out-of-state growth to escape Washington's high taxes and regulations, seeking an environment where employees can "achieve the American Dream."
- Construction on the 180-acre AgriTech Park site begins in July 2026, with Janicki spokesperson Erin Hurley noting average salaries will range from $65,000 to $120,000 depending on position.
- Gov. Greg Gianforte praised the investment as strengthening the economy, though City Manager Greg Doyon cautioned that growth requires a "certain socioeconomic shift" to accommodate incoming companies.
- Great Falls resident Kristen Gutowski raised concerns about transparency and affordability as the city navigates this development, while officials work to balance growth with preserving the community's character.
