An aircraft maintenance company will close one of its facilities in southwest Ohio.

Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems says its Vandalia location will close at the end of January. Fifty-four employees will be affected by the closure.

The company sent a notification to the State of Ohio and the City of Dayton on its intentions to close the Vandalia site. It didn’t give a reason for the closure.

Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems maintains, repairs and refurbishes aircraft. The company is based in South Carolina, and has other locations in Georgia and Tennessee.

A chance meeting with a volunteer in a college computer lab in 1987 brought Mike to WYSO. He started filling in for various music shows, and performed various production, news, and on-air activities during the late 1980s and 90s, spinning vinyl and cutting tape before the digital evolution.
