ERLANGER, Ky. — L2 Aviation , a Texas-based aerospace firm, opened its first facility in the commonwealth at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

The opening of the facility brings 250 new jobs and a $12.2 million investment to the region, aiding in the airport's growing aviation industry.

"From private-sector investment to new jobs to best wages to exports, this falls into at least two of those," said Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., during Wednesday afternoon's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The new facility includes both a hangar and office space. L2 Aviation has already started building its team.

“It feels great, just knowing that I have an important part where I can help out and push forward with innovation," said production technician Jonathan Grubbs.
