ASHEVILLE, N.C.– In conjunction with the Economic Development Coalition for Asheville-Buncombe County (EDC), GE Aviation broke ground on a new $126 million facility that will revolutionize jet propulsion on Thursday, November 14. This substantial investment will lead the way for new technology, design and materials that will make GE jet engines the industry standard for efficiency, while simultaneously reducing emissions.
“GE Aviation’s new factory in Buncombe County is a major endorsement of our local manufacturing talent. This groundbreaking technology is the most sophisticated and proprietary ever entrusted to our region by such a prominent global corporation. It should put Asheville at the top of the list for any company with demanding manufacturing needs, especially those with green attributes.”
Asheville’s economy is vibrant – since January of 2009 the EDC for Asheville-Buncombe County has announced 34 projects, from both recruitment and expansion efforts, bringing 2,700 new positions
