Cheers: To manufacturing. United Precision Corporation, a California-based aerospace manufacturer that counts Boeing, SpaceX and the U.S. military among its clients, is expanding to Clark County. The company has purchased land from the Port of Camas-Washougal, where it will build two manufacturing buildings over the next five to 10 years, according to the Camas-Washougal Post-Record.
Construction of restaurants and retail outlets typically comprise the bulk of local economic news, in part because such amenities are highly visible and are accessible to the public. But a broad base that includes manufacturing and a variety of sectors is essential for a healthy regional economy. United Precision Corporation will be a worthy addition.
