XCOR Sets “Wall Breaking” Ceremony in Midland

XCOR and Midland Development Corporation have set a “wall breaking” ceremony for Friday morning that will mark the beginning of renovations at the company’s hangar at Midland International Airport.

The event will feature XCOR and MDC staff and special guests. Refreshments will be provided.

XCOR plans to move its research and development operations to Midland from the Mojave Air and Space Port in California. The company signed a deal two years ago under which Midland will provide a $10 million incentives package.

Officials are awaiting approval of a spaceport license for Midland from the Federal Aviation Administration. That approval is expected to come no later than Sept. 15.
