Pennsylvania Leaders Break Ground on Major Aviation Development
Hundreds of people gather to celebrate the groundbreaking of a transformative project for the Southern Alleghenies region — a new aviation maintenance, repair and services hub called the Mid-Atlantic Opportunity Park. The park will be built as a nearly 130-acre extension to the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport (JST) and will be anchored by a 100,000-square-foot aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility, with additional retail space for parts suppliers, paint shops and distribution facilities. The Opportunity Park is set to open fall 2024 and is expected to create hundreds of high-paying jobs.
