Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter, and West Star Aviation, LLC officials have announced that the company will expand manufacturing at its Chattanooga operations.
West Star Aviation will create 200 new jobs through the project and invest nearly $32 million in Hamilton County.
Gov. Lee stated, “West Star Aviation’s expansion will create 200 new high-quality jobs for families across Southeast Tennessee while strengthening our state’s position in the aerospace industry. Chattanooga has a surplus of skilled workers that will be the ideal fit for these new jobs, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this project will create for years to come.”
West Star Aviation is an aircraft maintenance company operating in Chattanooga for the last decade. The announcement marks the company’s third expansion in Tennessee.
