Pennsylvania plans to spend $2.5 million in Redevelopment
Assistance Capital Program matching funds to design and build a tunnel under
Washington Lane at Sikorsky Global Helicopters Inc.'s 1,800-worker Coatesville
commecial and medical helicopter plant, next to Chester County Airport, state
Sen. Andy Dinniman, D-Chester County, said in a statement today.
The senator says that means it won't have to shut Washington
Lane anymore when it sends ships on test flights over the neighborhood.
Dinniman says the state gift "will ensure that hundreds of high-paying
jobs stay in Chester County and in fact allow for continued expansion and job
growth." Without the money, Dinniman says Sikorsky was ready to move some
operations to another site with easier air access.
