The grant — awarded on the basis it creates 85 full-time jobs — will part-fund a $41m expansion of BETA’s existing facility at Plattsburgh International Airport conducted in partnership with Clinton County. The upgraded facility will serve as the manufacturing and final assembly hub for BETA’s electric aircraft. The firm will also establish a permanent flight test and aircraft delivery centre, for final flight testing, aircraft painting and customer delivery.

This expansion of BETA Technologies in Plattsburgh is exactly the kind of growth and innovation that’s supercharging New York’s economy for the 21st Century,” Governor Hochul said. “From the North Country to Central New York to New York City, my Administration is making transformative investments that create jobs, expand opportunity and grow our economy in every region of the state.”
