has completed the initial closing of its overall financing for the
project, with the final closing will take place on or before March
17, 2011.
Robin Wohnsigl, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Laurentian Aerospace said: “Work will begin immediately on
various aspects of the project including the design and development
work which, actually, has been in process now for a few weeks.
Robson Woese and Cianbro Corporation will now move forward with the
details required to start construction at the Plattsburgh
International Airport in late April, 2011.”

Laurentian also confirmed that with the construction program now
officially underway, the company expects to begin commercial
operations in late 2012 or early 2013. Eric Jergensen, CEO of
Verdant Technical Solutions, LLC and Verdant Capital Group, LLC
which are providing funding for the Laurentian project, said:
“We are very proud to be involved with Laurentian and look
forward to the start of construction of the project. We have
enormous confidence in the Laurentian management team and in our
combined business plans. We are especially enthusiastic regarding
the local and regional support for this project and the addition it
will make to the economy of the region.”

Gary Douglas, President of the The North Country Chamber of
Commerce, called the milestone "an historic day for the North
Country. This will transform Plattsburgh International Airport into
North America's newest emerging aerospace center, not only putting
us in the aerospace business, but doing it in a way that positions
us at the forefront of new technology and innovation."
