Gulfstream to build paint facility, add 100 jobs


Gulfstream Aerospace plans to build a $33 million paint facility near the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in an expansion that's expected to add at least 100 jobs.


The company announced the plan on Tuesday.


The Savannah Morning News reports (http://bit.ly/1wf0Yds) that the facility will be near the company's 680,000-square-foot-plus maintenance building, considered the largest business aviation maintenance facility in the world.


Company officials say the new facility will be one of the most advanced high-tech paint hangars ever built.


Jay Neely, Gulfstream vice president for law and public affairs, said the paint facility is expected to be completed next summer and will bring in at least 100 new jobs.


Neely said that Savannah-based Gulfstream now employs more than 10,000 people in Georgia.
