Parry Labs CEO JD Parkes, a Wash100 Award winner, explained the move, saying, “This is about more than office space. This is about building faster, integrating smarter and advancing what’s possible where the mission meets the fight.”
“We chose Marion for a reason, this region has the talent, mindset, and momentum to scale the mission,” Parkes said.
For his part, Marion Mayor Nick AbouAssaly said, “Parry Labs isn’t just growing, they’re redefining what modern defense looks like. Their investment in Marion is a win for the mission, a win for innovation, and a win for the future of this community.”
