Commerce Department Allocates $3 Million for West Virginia Aerospace Workforce

The U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration plans to award $3 million in disaster supplemental funding to the ARMOR coalition in West Virginia. This investment aims to develop the aerospace manufacturing workforce, establish a national innovation hub through airport upgrades and curriculum development, and supports President Trump's commitment to U.S. aerospace leadership, partly in response to Hurricane Helene in 2024.
