Approximately 279 acres in west Henderson was purchased by Haas Automation, who plans to build on the land in three phases. Haas Automation is the largest tool builder in the western world and is also known as part of the Stewart-Haas Racing company, a former sponsor of NASCAR driver Tony Stewart.
“Haas Automation is not only bringing skilled manufacturing, engineering, and technology jobs that pay excellent wages to Henderson, it’s also a catalyst helping to attract other high-caliber companies that will transform our community’s economy,” said Mayor Debra March.
Haas Automation is projecting that these plans should create 2,500 jobs within 10 years.
