NIMAC was honored to attend Moog’s 75th anniversary celebration and the ribbon cutting for its new Advanced Integrated Manufacturing facility.

It was an impressive opportunity to learn more about an extraordinary company that calls Western New York home. Moog’s innovation, skilled workforce and contributions to the aerospace and defense industries highlight the remarkable capabilities that exist throughout our region.

The event also provided an opportunity to connect with federal and state elected officials and other community leaders. Building strong relationships among industry, government, the military and community organizations is essential to Western New York’s continued success.

At NIMAC, we believe it is important to understand the assets within our community and the broader economic ecosystem, workforce and opportunities they create.

Congratulations to the entire Moog team on 75 years of innovation and achievement!

The Niagara Military Affairs Council is thrilled to see military professionals from across the country coming to Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station and spending time here in Niagara County.

This year, the New York Air National Guard’s 107th Attack Wing hosted the National Guard Bureau’s annual Inspector General Course, bringing together 23 Airmen and civilians from Inspector General offices across the Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard, June 9–11, 2026.

While attendees focused on important program management topics such as command inspection programs, unit self-assessments, deficiency management, readiness reporting, exercise planning, manpower, and funding considerations, their time in Niagara also offered an opportunity to experience the strength of Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station and the community that supports it.

Events like this showcase more than the mission. They introduce visitors from across the Total Force to Niagara County, our strong military-community partnership, and the excellent quality of life we are proud to offer.

Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station continues to be a vital military asset and an important part of our region. NIMAC is proud to support opportunities that bring military leaders and professionals to Niagara County, strengthen collaboration across the force, and highlight why this community is such an outstanding place to serve, work, live, and visit.
