Rocket Lab USA to Make Advancements in Right to Work Virginia

Rocket Lab USA is adding a new launch location soon in Right to Work Accomack County, Virginia. This will help the company with its Neutron Rocket project. In addition, the new site will also require 250 new employees, creating new jobs for the area. So this is great news for more than one reason!

From Area Development Magazine:

“Neutron is a new generation of rocket that will advance the way space is accessed, and Virginia makes perfect sense as Neutron’s home base. […] Its position on the eastern seaboard is the ideal location to support both Neutron’s frequent launch cadence and the rocket’s return-to-Earth capability of landing back at its launch site after lift-off. […]

“Virginia is home to an active and experienced aerospace workforce we can pull from to support Neutron’s development and launch. I’m thankful for the Commonwealth’s enthusiasm and backing of Neutron which, combined with the state’s rich heritage as an aerospace state, made it difficult to see anywhere else but Virginia as Neutron’s future home.†[…]

“Wallops Island is a prime site for aerospace and aviation operations. It is an honor to officially welcome Rocket Lab to the Eastern Shore of Virginia.â€
