The NC Global TransPark intends to provide facility “support” for Fleet Readiness Center East, a Naval Aviation maintenance and repair depot under Naval Air Systems Command. This facility will provide space for maintenance operations on C130s and other aircraft for the Air Force and Navy. This project will be a game changer for Eastern NC as it plans to bring over 400 jobs to the NC Global Transpark within the EDR region. ![](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/C130-Group-Image-copy-1024x191.jpg?width=1024&height=191&name=C130-Group-Image-copy-1024x191.jpg) ## Read On [![](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/C-130-Planns-4-24.jpg?width=352&name=C-130-Planns-4-24.jpg)](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/ncgtpedr-news/fleet-readiness-center-east-c-130-facility-construction-starts-at-north-carolina-global-transpark) ##### [Fleet Readiness Center East C-130 Facility Construction Starts at North Carolina Global TransPark](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/ncgtpedr-news/fleet-readiness-center-east-c-130-facility-construction-starts-at-north-carolina-global-transpark) Site prep on the Fleet Readiness Center East C-130 MRO facility at the North Carolina Global...
