A Colorado company is expanding its facility in Zeeland to make room for an innovative approach to aerospace manufacturing.
Fort Collins, Colorado-based Woodward Inc. is converting a previous warehouse space into an industrialized space that will be dedicated to additive manufacturing, according to the Lakeshore Advantage on Wednesday. The economic development agency helped Woodward secure an industrial facilities tax exemption from the city of Zeeland for the project.
Woodward did not reveal the cost of the expansion.
