Apogee's plan is to invest this money locally and expand its talent pool of Space and Digital Transformation professionals.

In the past year, Apogee has won three contracts with the Army and US Space Force along with several supporting contracts for United State Geological Survey (USGS).

With this new growth, Apogee is also looking beyond their current office space to find local space with at least 20,000+ sq ft to support corporate, contract, and classified operations. Apogee is evaluating all available options in the local market to meet the infrastructure needs as rapidly as possible while deepening its existing roots within the local community.
