YUMA, AZ - Construction of a new multi-tenant aircraft hangar will begin soon.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held this afternoon at the Yuma International Airport where a $5 million Aviation Industrial Center will be built.

The new hangar will be run by Marine Corp Air Station-Yuma.

Officials say the AIC project was started to create high-value jobs for our region.

They say the project is expected to be completed in the next 9 months to a year.
