The City of Columbia had a public hearing on Tuesday (January 20, 2026) to discuss the city’s request for an application for a Community Development Block Grant for the procurement of equipment to assist a local company in the operation of their facility located in the City of Columbia.
CIRCOR specializes in critical fluid handling solutions across various industries.
The company offers a wide range of products including pumps, valves, regulators, actuators, switches, motors, and sensors, designed to meet the demands of sectors such as oil and gas, power generation, aerospace, defense, and the sciences.
The company operates globally, with a focus on delivering reliable and high-performance equipment tailored to the specific needs of its customer.
“We are excited about the prospect of CIRCOR’s tentative expansion plans,” said Mayor Hoots.
“This is an important development for our community.”
This investment will be an estimated over $16 million with building, machinery, and equipment.
This Community Development Block Grant is tentatively planned to result in the creation of fifty full time jobs, 51% to be filled with low to moderate income residents.
More information will be available later on this project.
A press conference will be held in the near future.
