Sperry Rand to Open Flight Center in Phoenix
Sperry Rand announced plans to locate an advanced research center and electronic plant in Phoenix after Arizona lawmakers exempted state manufacturers from sales tax on goods for government use. The project would create hundreds of jobs with a first phase including a hangar at Sky Harbor and later a metropolitan research center. The governor signed the tax revisions amid a heated legislative session, with continued debates and adjournments into a third special session.
