ACM is made up of 33 manufacturers from the aerospace industry to date and is at work in areas such as progressive manufacturing, workforce development and consolidated purchasing, and to identify future roles in the worldwide aerospace market. This cluster immediately worked to identify and address obstacles in areas such as workforce development and regulatory environment. Also in 1999, what originally began as a Business Training Network was identified as the Metal Manufacturing cluster. In January 2001, the fifth operational cluster, Maritime , was introduced. A number of other cluster-related projects have taken shape over the last year, in areas including manufacturing, workforce development, urban revitalization, transportation infrastructure, regulatory and tax climate, and international trade.
