LSA America, makers of the Allegro aircraft, took the first step toward building a permanent facility at the airport by breaking ground today.
A plant breaking ground at the Halifax-Northampton Regional airport is all about jobs and economic development.
LSA America, makers of the Allegro aircraft, have been manufacturing the small planes at a temporary plant in Littleton for the last few months, but they took the first step toward building their permanent facility at the airport by breaking ground today.
The plant, when completed, will be 16,000 square feet, and, within the next two years, employ 34 people.
“These are good jobs, well-paying jobs,” Halifax County Economic Development Director Cathy Scott said.
The company’s leadership said the project is all about jobs, and they are impressed with how the county banded together to bring the project, which nearly located in Wisconsin, to Halifax County.
“We’ve never seen any place that was so united to bring jobs to their community,” LSA America President Doug Hempstead said. “We really can’t say enough about it.”
LSA officials say they hope to move into the new facility by May 2013.
