Pruning 2020: And We're Off...

Beautiful day to be in the vineyard.

Quite an article

(actually multiple articles) in the Puget Sound Business Journal, very bullish on the growing aerospace core at the Port of Moses Lake, led by Aero-TEC's flight testing business.

I won't reprint the entire article but here are a couple snippets:

The airport and city [Moses Lake] of about 24,000 people welcomed more than $1 billion in new investments and economic spinoffs last year, according to a study by the Washington State Department of Transportation. In recent years, a slew of aerospace companies have flocked to Moses Lake, transforming the city and its uniquely situated airport into a booming aerospace oasis.

Among the new workers in the area is Theo Jones, a contractor who does flight simulator work for Mitsubishi. 

“What’s going on here is a big deal,” Jones said. 

“There are people in this town that don’t know we're building and testing aircraft here,” Jones said. “It needs to be shared.”
