Later this year Robins Air Force Base will begin doing overhaul maintenance on the C-130s flown by the Navy and Marine Corps, which will ultimately mean about 400 new jobs.
Brig. Gen. John Kubinec, commander of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, made the announcement to the Houston County Development Authority on Wednesday. The first planes will start coming in June, then the work will gradually ramp up. By 2021 the base is expected to be doing all of the Navy's C-130 work, which will mean 400 additional jobs.
"That's great news," said Angie Gheesling, executive director of the Development Authority. "For us it's the greatest announcement we could get."
