Sault Ste. Marie, ON - Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario - FedNor
Terry Sheehan, Member of Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie and Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministers of Labour and Seniors, today announced $660,000 in FedNor funding for the Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation (SSMADC). The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services and Minister responsible for FedNor.
FedNor's support will enable SSMADC to construct a new 11,250 square foot building at the Sault Ste. Marie airport. The new facility will accommodate new growth for a large tenant who specializes in maintenance, repair, and overhaul. The project will provide a dedicated space for equipment, parts, and materials, which will open hangar floor area and introduce service for larger jets while continuing service for existing aircraft.
In addition to supporting regional aviation operations and supply chains, this project will increase revenue opportunities, expand both the airport and tenant business, and create approximately 15 construction jobs throughout development phases.
