Why this project qualifies
With 156 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears AFT's 100-permanent-job threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). This project also meets AFT's primary-source verification and physical U.S. manufacturing-footprint requirements.

The aerospace context.
US aerospace demand is being driven simultaneously by record commercial-aircraft backlogs and a Department of Defense modernization cycle covering bombers, ICBMs, submarines, and hypersonics. Most projects in this category are constrained by skilled-labor availability — welders, composite technicians, machinists — rather than by capital.
