COOLBAUGH TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— Tobyhanna Army Depot cutting the ribbon on its new micro-electronics manufacturing facility.

"So what this will be used in: everything. Think anything that's it. So from radio systems to radar systems to night vision goggles. Anything with electricity going through it, you have microelectronics that are involved in it," said Maj. Gen. James Turinetti, Coolbaugh Township.
This is part of Tobyhanna's four-phase project to prototype and produce the circuit card assemblies.
