Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems announced Wednesday afternoon that it would be relocating its operation from the Nashville International Airport to the Smyrna Airport.

Stevens will become a part of the Hollingshead Aviation FBO campus with a 30,000 square-foot hangar and will relocate 75 jobs from Nashville to Smyrna. It will also add 30 new jobs initially with the intention of growing its workforce.

Id like to thank Stevens Aerospace for its commitment to expand its operation in Middle Tennessee and create 30 jobs, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe said in a release. As our economy goes through significant disruptions, its even more vital for us to support private investment and job creation, which can help Tennessee rebound.

Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems is known for its maintenance, repair and overhaul of private and government aircraft. The move also brings them closer to Middle Tennessee State and the school's aerospace program.

Aerospace and aviation are target industries in Rutherford Countys economic development strategy, Destination Rutherford Chairman Bill Jones said in the release. This announcement speaks to our great business climate for the aviation and aerospace industry, even in a time of uncertainty.
