NC Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program Tours North Carolina Global TransPark

Yesterday, the NC Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program (NC-DMCSP) held its advisory board meeting at the Lenoir Community College Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing Center in Kinston. The NC-DMCSP is designed to strengthen national security innovation and long-term community investments in critical skills, facilities, workforce development, research and development, and small business support.

During the meeting, Amanda Conner, Property Manager for the North Carolina Global TransPark (NCGTP), presented an update on tenant expansions, airport progress, and the NCGTP’s growing relations with the Department of Defense. 

Afterward, the NC-DMCSP group toured a few key NCGTP tenants, Draken and FRC East. The tour allowed the group to see first-hand the positive impacts of the Department of Defense utilizing NCGTP’s assets, which include an 11,500-foot runway, close proximity to military installations, and uncongested airspace.

EDR appreciates the NC-DMCSP’s work with eastern NC industries and businesses, which benefits our region and beyond.
