Eagle Transport Corporation’s Post

Pratt & Whitney chose #NorthCarolina over #Connecticut for their new $650 million high-tech jet engine airfoil plant in 2020, just after expiration of their obligation to remain in the State thanks to a $400 million tax credit to their then-parent United Technologies. It was a tough blow to #Connecticut’s #AerospaceAlley and the #advancedmanufacturing supply chain ecosystem that relies on P&W contracts. While I’m very disappointed with their decision, I can understand the motivation to take this impactful decision. #NorthCarolina has just released a new Economic Development Partnership website that incudes a COMPARISON tool to see how other States measure up to North Carolina’s workforce, business climate, and more. The comparisons with #Connecticut are difficult to view, and they soeak to the need for a dramatic shift in economic development for the Nutmeg State. https://lnkd.in/edxuG9is

Excerpt from a recent case study...thanks to Ward's Marine for being such a great partner. From standardized U.S. Navy vessels to a wide range of leisure boats, Ward’s Marine Electric of Fort Lauderdale, FL, has the experience, capability, and flexibility to meet the requirements of a wide range of clients.

🌞 AISIN Corporation's groundbreaking $400 million transmission manufacturing plant in Texas is not only improving vehicle manufacturing, but also beating the scorching Texas heat with innovative thermal efficiency capabilities. Nestled in Cibolo, this sprawling 463,800 square-foot facility produces top-notch automatic and hybrid transmissions for Toyota Tundra trucks. With over 98,000 square-feet of insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Kingspan's KS Mini Micro-Rib and Optimo Smooth panels, the plant boasts both stunning aesthetics and remarkable thermal performance. 🔥 In the face of rising temperatures and record-breaking heat waves, IMPs have emerged as a forward-thinking solution to future-proofing buildings. This dynamic duo of KS Mini Micro-Rib and Optimo panels not only elevates the architectural appeal but also ensures energy efficiency by creating an airtight insulation barrier. As Texas continues to battle soaring temperatures, the AISIN plant stands resilient, benefiting from these panels' ability to keep cooling costs in check. AISIN's strategic use of IMPs demonstrates how innovation and sustainability can work in harmony to conquer challenges posed by the Texas sun. 🔆 #ThermalEfficiency #InnovationInManufacturing #BeatingTheHeat Read the full case study here: https://hubs.la/Q020Rqq00

Moving forward

Here's hoping less is more! In advance of the spring break rush, we're trialing a bypassed signal at JFK T5 to improve traffic flows. We're grateful for our T6 project and Port Authority partners' willingness to trial something unconventional to make the customer experience as positive as possible in this sea of construction activity. Traffic improvements aside, pro tip - the AirTrain is once again running with strong headways and is your best bet for a reliable journey to JFK. If you're taking a car at peak times (and reminder - those peak times start much earlier in the morning than you think!), consider dropping off or picking up at Federal Circle or the Lefferts Blvd. Kiss & Fly and taking a free journey on the AirTrain to your terminal. Roadways will be dramatically improved once all of the terminal projects at JFK are complete, but in the meantime, roadway capacity is down. Take the AirTrain and you'll probably be glad you did!
