Washington state is investing another $350,000 in hydrogen propulsion system developer ZeroAvia, Governor Jay Inslee said Monday at the Paris Airshow. The additional funding will support the expansion of ZeroAvia’s research and development activities at Paine Field, an airport located in Snohomish County, Washington. 

The investment from Washington State’s Department of Commerce follows another $350,000 award it granted to ZeroAvia in early 2022 to support the opening of its new research and development facility at Paine Field.
