A $1.5-million expansion of Professional Aircraft Accessories at Space Coast Regional Airport has paid off for Brevard County with the addition of 65 jobs. That boosted the company’s Titusville employment to more than 200 in late 2012, and the Space Coast Economic Development Commission puts the aviation repair firm’s annual economic impact on the local economy at more than $28 million. Founded in 1993, PAA moved to the Titusville airport in 2003. It specializes in repair and overhaul of everything from landing gears to avionics.
