NIAGARA, N.Y. — A California-headquartered aircraft design firm has selected a former U.S. Army Reserve Center in Niagara County for its prototype development and production facility.

Stavatti Aerospace Ltd., based in San Bernardino, California, has pledged to invest nearly $26 million and create 590 jobs within the next five years.

Sites in more than 30 states and three Canadian provinces were considered.  You can read the full story on Buffalo Business First's website
