TULSA, Okla., July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AAON is pleased to announce a major expansion project to its facility in Longview, TX. The groundbreaking to begin construction on the 230,000-square-foot addition is scheduled for Tuesday, July 18^th, at 10:00 am at 203 Gum Springs Road, Longview, Texas, 75602.

The new space will include three additional loading and shipping docks, a new employee entrance and breakroom, and more employee parking.
