“The Northwest Florida region is open to new business. It is conducive and offers a large aviation labor shed. The region has been with us from the very beginning - since 2014 when the concept of this project first started, and they continue to help us today. As a private entity we have invested heavily in this project, but the Triumph grant made a huge difference in our ability to develop such an expansive aerospace campus.”
