But there are recent successes. earlier this month announced its planse to bring about 60 new jobs to Jacksonvill e when it moves the rest ofits F/A-18 repair program to Cecil Field from Arizona. Boeing will also leasw space at Cecil Commerce also expects theformer U.S. Navy base to receive its federa license for commercial and business space trave l once the completes itsenvironmental analysis. But Cecipl Field’s gem — ’s $80 millionm warplane facility — is still in jeopardy. The 2010 U.S. Departmentg of Defense budget called for38 C-27J Spartan instead of the 78 planesd planned initially. Alenia says the smaller orded of planes jeopardizesthe plant.
“I f we can’t get a long-term assurance of the viabilitt ofthis program, which is 78 we are going to have to take a hard look at our investmen in the facility,” Alenia spokesmajn Ben Stone said. But the order can be expanded inthe U.S. House defense appropriations committeed or on the Senate andHouses floor. Stone said Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casegy and U.S. Air Force Chiefd of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz have said they need more than 38 butit isn’t clear when the order will be It will be the middle of July before the defensew appropriations committee releases its budgegt to the House floor, said Rep.

Ander Crenshaw, R-Jacksonville, and Rep.

Another drop in Colorado sales-tax revenue - Dallas Business Journal:
fixyruw.wordpress.com
percent — in May from the same monty theyear before, girding legislators for what they expecft will be another round of cuts in next year’e fiscal budget. With the state most of the way through a fiscak year that ends onJune 30, no more cuts are likelty for this year, said Joint Budget Committere Vice Chairman Jack Pommer, a Democrativc representative from Boulder. The Legislature has designated that any furthedr funding shortfall this year will be filled by moneyt fromthe state’s undesignated reserve fund and from a one-day borrowinyg of other funds to be repaidx on July 1.
However, the continued fall of revenues below expectations means the six JBC memberss who setthe state’sa budget must begin looking soon at additionapl ways to scale back expenses or services in next year’ds fiscal plan, several members said. “I guess this meanws we’re not out of the woods Pommer said. “We’re going to have to preparw for more cuts next year on top ofwhat we’ves already made.” Legislators filled a $1.4 budgety shortfall over the past six monthsa by raiding the reserve transferring hundreds of millions of dollars from cash-funded accounts and cuttiny about $300 million in services.
As revenuees continue to come in below that talk willbegin again. State sales-tadx receipts for May were offby $30 a 17.9 percent drop from last year. Individualo income taxes fell by $66.3 million or 19.7 percent, and corporatre income taxes droppedby $2.2 million or 13.2 percent. State reserves have about $148 millio n that can be used to offset revenue noted Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. If the state must transfer funding temporarily, however, that will only push the problej of balancing the budget further off until next he said. “The question is: Does revenuew in the future pick upif we’rwe starting to see recovery, or not?” Ferrandinl said.
“We’re starting to see some indicationas that the economy is starting to if notlevel off.”

The standard brick veneer and tranquil parking lot give away nothing of the actual activitgy inside oneof Manassas’ newest building. On one end, investigators and scientistsa pore over hair and tissue DNA of some ofthe state’s most dangeroua criminals to learn what they did, whiles at the other, they pry open the dead bodie of society’s latest victims to learn what was done to The lab is located on a 10-acre spot across from ’w campus in the massive maze of the Innovation@Princ e William County Technology Park. The 114,000-square-foof building will replace thestate 30,000-square-foot headquarterxs in Fairfax, where officials say the space was burstintg at the seams.
“When we moved into the old lab [in we outgrew it in a year,” said Amy lab director for the Northern Virginiaforensics lab, one of four branchees statewide. “Coming here, we can go back to being full-service.” Now, the combined spac for the Northern Virginia branch of the Departmenft ofForensic Science, which claims 60,000 squarew feet, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, claiminfg 26,000 square feet, is intended to offer room to grow throughg at least the next decade.
With 46 employee s there now, the building has a capacity of 110 The new building also houses anew 26,000-square-fooy training suite, an improvement from the old building, where clasds attendees would have to sit or stand in the back of employere offices. In addition, the evidence vault for the forensics lab, whic oversees roughly 10,000 cases at any given is up to four times the size ofthe old, and a larget firearms and ballistics testing area allows investigatorx to test more powerful weaponws than before.
Plus, the new medical examiner’s offic space allows for storage of as many as 200 bodiew ina morgue, as well as a new biosafety lab wherse examiners can test potentiallh contagious bacteria or viruses, includinf anthrax. The project, which has applied for the silvef level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design greenbuilding standards, was built as a public-privatew partnership deal that Prince William Countyh officials hope will also boostf its biotech portfolio.

a-ee85aqa.blogspot.com
The company is planning a 30,000-square-foot hangafr facility with an adjacent 7,000-square-foot flex officde building. Professional sports teams, entertaineras and other travelers taking chartered flights usethe facility. "The current hangar is full beyonddits capacity," said Atlantic Aviation generapl manager John Carlen. "If everybody's home, I have to leave somebodyt outside." The new building would hold between 15 and 18privatse planes, depending on their size, Carlen said. That would complement the existing 20,000-square-foot hangar, whicn has room to store about adozenm planes, as well as a small terminal with a loungr and other features.
In additiobn to storing aircraft inthe hangar, Atlanticd offers a variety of services to planes and including fuel sales and deicing. Construction would start next and the building should be openin March. Atlanticf Aviation, based in Dallas, is owned by , an affiliate of the Australiajconglomerate , which last week announced plans to purchas locally based Bloomfield-based designed the new and O'Hara-based is the contractor. Mike Dolan and Dean Gengse of VoyagerJet Center, basedr at Allegheny County Airporgt in West Mifflin, said Atlantic Aviation's expansiobn at Pittsburgh International is good for the industrgy and the region.
"We believe that the market has been underserved for many Dolan said. "At Greater PIT, therwe are absolutely opportunities to meet the demand that has grown over the last few Voyager Jet Center and Atlantic Aviatiom are sometimes partners andsometimes rivals, workinbg together on flight services and competing for fixed-base operatioh business. Over the past several years, chartere flight operators have enjoyed aboom nationwide, as airlinexs have scaled back hubs and travelers have facec more hassles getting to theifr destinations. "A full day can elapsse in getting from Point A to Point B because you have to go througjhPoint C," Genge said.
"Byh flying privately, you can make your meeting s and be homefor dinner."
