NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — Aery Aviation plans to spend $15.3 million to expand its Newport News headquarters, a project that will create 211 new jobs, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Tuesday.

Virginia successfully competed with Maryland, Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia for the project, officials said.
