This new hangar represents a significant investment in Miami and strengthens our region\u2019s position as a global leader in aviation, while helping ensure that South Florida remains at the forefront of this vital industry.\n\nThis expansion will create 200 full-time jobs for Miami-Dade residents and bring additional economic activity to our community. These are the kinds of investments that make a real difference for working families and help build a stronger local economy. With more than 1,300 AAR employees already based across Florida, this project also underscores the company\u2019s continued commitment to our state and to the skilled workforce that makes Florida a great place to do business.\n\nAviation is a cornerstone of our economy, and Miami International Airport is an essential gateway connecting our community to the nation and the world. Investments like this one help strengthen that gateway and position South Florida for continued success in the years ahead.\n\nI want to congratulate AAR on this important milestone and thank Miami International Airport, as well as our federal, state, and local partners, for their collaboration in making this project possible. Projects of this scale take partnership and commitment, and I am proud to see everyone come together to deliver results for our community.\n\nCongratulations to everyone involved in this exciting milestone and thank you for continuing to invest in the people and future of our community.\"\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-18T05:27:41Z", "2026-08-18T05:29:06Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mariodiazbalart.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-mario-diaz-balart-attends-ribbon-cutting-ceremony-aars-new"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4085189905017614, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
