First Drone Manufactured In North Dakota Rolled Out, Wahpeton, North Dakota -- June 8, 2015

The Bismarck Tribune is reporting:
WAHPETON — "The skies are open for business in North Dakota."
That statement was how John Perry, CEO of the Florida-based unmanned aerial system company Altavian, described the milestone occasion of the first drone manufactured in North Dakota as it was rolled out Friday.
The unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) machinery was built at ComDel Innovation in Wahpeton. The company signed an agreement with Altavian to manufacture the UAS drones and components in Wahpeton.
Because of the partnership, ComDel hosted the celebration of the roll-out with representatives from both companies as well as government officials present.
"This is a fairly mature technology and is already being used by public agencies," Perry said at the event. "The recent changes in the regulations now allows for operations so what we really see coming is a big scale-up in the industry.
