State Representative Mike Harris has announced the planned expansion of AJG Aerospace in Oakland County, which is projected to create 125 new jobs. The aerospace startup will renovate a facility in Independence Township to serve as its headquarters and manufacturing plant. Harris, a member of the Michigan Legislature’s Aerospace Defense Caucus, emphasized the economic benefits and growth for Michigan’s aerospace sector.
“Metro Detroit manufacturers made Michigan the Arsenal of Democracy,” said Harris, R-Waterford. “Today, new companies are building on that legacy with new technologies. I’m excited to see AJG Aerospace invest resources, expand its operations, and create new jobs right here in our community. This investment will boost Michigan’s cutting-edge role in the aerospace industry.”
The project involves a capital investment exceeding $33 million, supported by a $1 million performance-based grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Michigan Business Development Program.
The newly created positions are expected to offer average wages of $34.25 per hour. Entry-level roles will start at $20 an hour with opportunities for training and advancement.
