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 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 dollars with building, machinery, and equipment. This Community Development Block Grant is tentatively planned to result in the creation of 50 full-time jobs, 51% to be filled with low to moderate income residents.
More information will be available later on this project at a press conference to be held in the near future.
