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

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
