Curtiss-Wright is receiving a $1.21 million grant through the PA SITES (Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites) program and has also been encouraged to apply for the state’s Manufacturing Tax Credit (MTC) and Qualified Manufacturing Innovation & Reinvestment Deduction (QMIRD) programs. The Cheswick Borough facility is a world leader in the design, development, manufacture and qualification of the most advanced, proven and reliable critical function canned motor pumps, motors, generators, and control rod mechanisms.

Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development – the organization that oversees regional economic development through its affiliate, the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance – offered this perspective on the news:

“This project is a prime example of what happens when state leadership and regional execution align seamlessly. Curtiss-Wright is a vital anchor of our nuclear and defense ecosystems, working together with regional leaders like Westinghouse to power next-generation energy solutions. They play a critical role in the nuclear supply chain and their decision to invest $80 million to expand their electro-mechanical operations in Allegheny County ensures our region remains at the forefront of critical national infrastructure.”
