Pima County needs economic development and jobs
On Tuesday January 19th, 2016 I attended the Pima County Board of Supervisor’s meeting downtown. My interest in that meeting was an item on the agenda pertaining to the privately owned company, World View, and the fact that the Board of Supervisors were going to vote on a $14.5 million dollar deal to build a facility and space port for said company. First let me point out some facts about World View.
This company has only been in business since 2013. They are a business that will manufacture balloons to take equipment and people to near space. To date, they have only taken a person to near space 3 times. The same person. They will not show their financials as they said these are “Proprietary.” They will not reveal how many people have made deposits to make the trip to space ($75,000 per flight). And there is little information on who they currently have contracts with or who they are negotiating contracts with. They also do not have FAA approval to build the space port.
