Washington-Warren Airport (OCW) has announced a successful appropriation of USD13.5 million in funding earmarked in the North Carolina State Budget for the 2023 – 2024 fiscal year. This substantial financial investment the airport says is slated for the development of key infrastructure and state-of-the-art data centre, and other facilities meticulously chosen by the Authority to bolster and stimulate Advance Air Mobility (AAM) design, engineering, training, and manufacturing initiatives at the Washington-Warren Airport.
“This financial milestone underscores both the dedication of the local community and the airport’s steadfast commitment to fostering the aerospace industry’s growth and job creation within Beaufort County” according to the press release. “The official announcement of this achievement is scheduled to take place during the Airport’s highly anticipated Air and Drone Show on October 14th. During this event, Rep. Keith Kidwell is set to present a symbolic cheque to the members of the OCW Airport Authority.”
