Public Statement on the Aerospace Tech Hub Initiative

We intend for the Inland Northwest Tech Hub to house the world’s largest composites press and advanced manufacturing capabilities under one roof.  This center will be a national testbed and training center, where leading engineers from industry, DoD and NASA collaborate to develop scalable, next-generation commercial and defense solutions and provide hands-on training in partnership with technical education. 

This new expertise will empower our domestic workforce to reverse American reliance on foreign aerospace suppliers and reestablish the United States as the global leader in aerospace component production. Our vast consortium is proud to have the support of our legislators  and the communities across Washington and Idaho as we move forward.
