Center of Excellence to provide $102 million capital investment
佛罗里达州圣奥古斯丁。–今天,州长里克·斯科特(Rick Scott)领导诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司(Northrop Grumman Corporation)位于圣奥古斯丁的飞机集成卓越中心(Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence)的奉献活动,为该地区增加了400个就业岗位和1.02亿美元的资本投资。
2013年3月,斯科特州长宣布诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司在全国指定了五个卓越中心,其中两个位于佛罗里达州。这两个中心位于圣奥古斯丁和墨尔本,共有1400个新工作岗位和超过1.7亿美元的资本投资。
斯科特州长说:“佛罗里达州为诺斯罗普·格鲁曼这样的世界级航空航天公司提供了理想的位置,我们很高兴他们选择在佛罗里达州创造就业机会。今天,圣奥古斯丁宣布了400个新工作岗位,加上布雷瓦尔德县宣布的1000个工作岗位,意味着越来越多的佛罗里达人将有机会找到工作。我们必须继续致力于创造机会经济,让每个想要工作的佛罗里达人都能找到工作。”
The St. Augustine Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence will include 368,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space on company-owned property. The company chose Florida due to the state’s skilled workforce and close partnerships with industry, at the state and regional levels.
诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司副总裁兼航空航天系统总裁汤姆·维西说:“今天的奉献意味着我们继续致力于我们的服务人员、圣奥古斯丁的员工和佛罗里达州。”。“这个卓越中心的优秀员工,加上一个新的最先进的制造设施,将继续造福于我们的客户、我们的公司和社区。”
Florida is home to more than 2,000航空航天公司雇佣超过87000名工人。国家进攻rs a broad range of industry expertise; the world’s premier gateway to space; the undisputed air traffic hub of the Western Hemisphere; a major hub for flight training and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); and is home to leading manufacturers of all types of aircraft and components.
“This second center of excellence is another fantastic project for the state, with a strong and long-time partner in Northrop Grumman,” said Secretary of Commerce and president & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Gray Swoope. “When we learned that Florida was chosen for not just one but two of only five national centers, obviously we were incredibly happy and proud. These facilities speak to the work we’re doing to highlight Florida’s numerous business advantages and the pro-business climate Governor Scott and the Legislature have created in the last three-plus years. We look forward to Northrop’s expanded presence in Florida.”
Northrop Grumman’s centers of excellence serve to improve its strategic alignment with customer needs for increasingly innovative and affordable products, services and solutions. In addition to the new center in St. Augustine, the company recently broke ground on a new 220,000 square-foot building at its Melbourne campus, adjacent to the Melbourne International Airport. The new building will accommodate program management and engineering teams, as well as integration laboratories, and is scheduled to be complete this summer.
圣奥古斯丁飞机集成卓越中心每年将产生总计2400万美元的新工资。此外,诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司每年提供数百万美元,用于支持各种慈善活动,其员工为慈善组织和佛罗里达大学和学院提供志愿服务和支持。
如果没有州和地方两级强有力的伙伴关系,这个项目就不可能实现。帮助项目取得成功的合作伙伴包括佛罗里达企业、圣约翰郡、圣奥古斯丁市、佛罗里达CareerSource和经济机会部。
作为项目的一部分,CareerSource Florida通过快速反应培训(QRT)计划为员工培训提供了诺斯罗普格鲁曼公司基于绩效的部分补偿补助金。QRT补助金的结构灵活,能够满足新业务或扩张业务的培训需求。
CareerSource Florida总裁兼首席执行官Chris Hart IV说:“我们很荣幸能够协助诺斯罗普格鲁曼公司进行最新的扩张,这将展示佛罗里达州理想的商业环境,以及国际公认的行业领袖和坚定的州商业伙伴的创新工作。”。
“Northrop Grumman’s decision to continue to invest in Florida is proof that our efforts to establish global recognition as the best place to do business are working. This administration has worked diligently to build a foundation of pro-growth policies and a business climate that promotes innovation and job creation. Northrop Grumman’s continued investment in our state and labor force is great news for Florida families and our economy,” said Jesse Panuccio, Executive Director of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
斯科特州长建议为该州的经济发展激励计划投资9500万美元,以吸引新企业和扩大现有企业,从而创造高质量/高薪工作岗位,发展佛罗里达州的经济。一个关键的组成部分是灵活使用这些资金对意外的机会作出迅速反应,这将提高企业保留率和创造就业机会。
