DEAAG grant application for Laughlin AFB aerospace initiative
The county is poised to apply for nearly $4.85 million in federal Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance grant money to support aerospace and manufacturing growth around Laughlin Air Force Base. If awarded, it could mean jobs and investment in the local economy.
