Rick Scott Launches Northrop Grumman Center in St. Augustine

Gov. Rick Scott helped dedicate Northrop Grumman Corp.'s Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence in St. Augustine on Thursday. Northrop Grumman is building two centers in Florida with 1,000 new jobs coming to Melbourne and 400 to St. Augustine.

Florida provides the ideal location for a world-class aerospace company like Northrop Grumman, and we are thrilled that they have chosen to create jobs in Florida, Scott said. Todays announcement of 400 new jobs in St. Augustine combined with 1,000 announced jobs in Brevard County mean more and more Floridians will have the opportunity to get a job. We must continue to focus on creating an opportunity economy where every Floridian who wants a job can get one.
