Piper is considering moving it's 1000 plus employee aircraft manufacturing facilities from it's 50 year home, Vero Beach, Florida to any number of cities including Oklahoma City and Albuquerque unless it can secure new incentives from Indian River County, it's current resident location.

Citing the need to expand and modernize it's facilities and attract high-skill employees to build it's new PiperJet and other modern aircraft models, Piper is looking for a home that satisfies shareholder's vision for the future.
