Boeing makes $1 billion investment in Wichita facility
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Boeing is making a billion-dollar investment in its Wichita location over the next three years, the company announced Monday.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said the investment will be used to upgrade facilities, expand employee training and strengthen the production system.
He said this will prepare the facility for a higher production rate, especially as Boeing tries to keep up with a record-high demand. The company is currently sitting on a backlog of 6,100 commercial planes, valued at $695 billion.
“It’s going to take the skills and capabilities of all of you to help us deliver on our record backlogs and meet the growing demand in aerospace,” Ortberg said. “And I know the 13,000 Wichita teammates are ready to deliver on that promise.”
There could be even more work coming to the facility. Reuters reported that Ortberg will be going to China with President Donald Trump and a few other leaders in the tech industry to talk about trade and investment opportunities.
Lt. Gov. David Toland said that more work at the company will help the Wichita economy and that it is up to the city to build up the workforce.
“We’ve got a company that’s put its money where its mouth is,” Toland said. “And as Kansans, as Wichitans, it’s on us now that we’re continuing to skill up our workforce, that we’re creating the talent pipeline that’s essential to allowing companies like Boeing to continue growing.”
Over the past several years, Wichita has invested in the aviation workforce. This includes expanding aviation education at WSU Tech and tapping students in WSU’s National Institute for Aviation Research to help with federal projects like the “Golden Dome” missile defense shield.
Last week, Boeing and WSU Tech announced a new partnership to build a workforce training center that will be a hub for Boeing’s Wichita workforce.
Sen. Jerry Moran hopes Boeing’s investments will ease concerns or caution surrounding the company’s return to Wichita and build on the city’s reputation in the aviation industry.
“You’ve heard me say that people come here and we convince them that this is the Air Capital of the World,” Moran said. “I don’t think we need any more convincing. This is now known. We are the Air Capital of the World.”

Soccer may be wrapping up in Kansas City, but the city is about to take center stage again.
The new season of “Ted Lasso,” filmed in Kansas City, is just days away, and for families like the Brownes, the excitement is hard to contain.
“My boys were so excited. Like I’ve seen them do a lot of things they like, but I’ve never, ever seen them that level of joy and excitement for days,” Kerry Browne said.

The show holds a special place for the family, who were among those caught up in the buzz when production came to town last summer.

That show has changed me more than anything else has,” Rory Browne McClain said. “
KSHB 41 reporter Fernanda Silva had the chance to ask cast members questions ahead of the new season and brought along a question from the Browne family — what were their favorite parts of Kansas City?

“For me, it’s the American Jazz Museum,” Jeremy Swift said. He plays Leslie Higgins in the show.
Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, pointed to CPKC Stadium, where the press conference was held.

“I like so much of Kansas City, but truly, honestly, like one of my favorite things is this stadium,” Hunt said.
Juno Temple, “Keeley Jones” in the show, reflected on what the city meant to her personally.

“I was really moved by this place, and that’s something that I will forever hold close to my heart,” Temple said.
Jason Sudeikis, who plays the show’s title character, spoke about what he hopes Kansas City viewers take away from the new season.
“I’d like to think that they feel, that we from Kansas City feel well represented by the characters and by the characters from Kansas City, the characters that he met in Kansas, like Coach Beard,” Sudeikis said.

Hunt drew a direct parallel between the World Cup’s effect on Kansas City’s global profile and what viewers are about to see play out on screen.
“It kind of ends up being like, you know, all this media that’s happened the last month of like the world discovering Kansas City and the vibe — like that is exactly what happens to Keely,” Hunt said. “So, you’re about to have déjà vu real hard when this thing comes along.”
For Browne, the timing could not be better.
“I love that the world will get to see what we love about Kansas City,” Browne said.

Kansas parents charged after child fatally shoots 5-year-old, 8-year-old
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Two Kansas parents were charged Thursday in connection with the shooting deaths of their two children.
The Ellsworth County Attorney’s Office charged Aaron French and Makayla French of Brookville with four counts each of aggravated child endangerment.

A 5-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy had been shot, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The 5-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. The 8-year-old was taken to a Wichita hospital, where he died almost a week later.
