BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (AP) — An aviation group is expanding its hangars at a new business park at a northern West Virginia airport, creating up to 300 jobs, officials announced.
Gov. Jim Justice, along with company and other officials, announced the expansion Wednesday at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries West Virginia Service Center at the North Central West Virginia Airport in Bridgeport.
MHIRJ Aviation is investing $20 million to add 100,000 square feet and two hangars to its facility, Justice said. Construction is expected to take 18 months. The facility currently has 500 workers.
The airport has the longest commercial service runway in West Virginia at 7,800 feet (2,377 meters).
Montreal-based MHIRJ Aviation offers operations, engineering and customer support, including maintenance, for regional aircraft industries.
