Albuquerque is known for its diverse
economy that has been gathering steam in the science and technology sectors in
recent years. And soon, over 100 new manufacturing jobs will be coming to town,
thanks to Eclipse Aerospace, a local aviation company.
According to Governor Martinez and Mayor Berry
at a press conference at the Albuquerque International Sunport, the project
will be coming here due in part to the city’s Economic Development action fund
and state Local Economic Development Act funds.
This is certainly great news for our
community. Not only will it add 100 new jobs, bring the total to 270 for
Eclipse, but it will also be great for the local economy. The mayor noted that
the company, the city and the state collaborated to bring the jobs here, with
the state contributing $397,000 in LEDA funds, and the city pledging $238,000
in EDACT funds.
What does Eclipse Aerospace do,
anyway? They are an Albuquerque-based American aircraft manufacturer that makes
the Eclipse 500 and 550 fleets. You can read more about what they do on their
website.
