New money promised in the federal budget for the aerospace industry in Canada should mean more jobs on Prince Edward Island, says Aerospace PEI president Andrew Hall. <\/p>\n
The new funding starts next year. Aerospace companies will have access to $110 million over the first four years, and $55 million a year after that. <\/p>\n
\"You're already seeing some of that start to trickle in now, companies looking at setting up in the province, a few people that are expanding because of the opportunities,\" said Hall. <\/p>\n
\"They're going to start competing on projects in the next six to nine months and that's going to translate into quite a bit of work for the Island economy.\" <\/p>\n
Hall said the new federal funding could also be good for Holland College. The money will be invested, in part, on research at universities and colleges on large-scale projects with commercialization potential. <\/p>\n
