Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Department of Development Interim Director Lisa Patt-McDaniel joined other state and Dayton-area leaders this week to announce the creation of the first Ohio Hub of Innovation and Opportunity.
The Dayton Hub, an urban revitalization partnership, will catalyze the city and region’s distinct aerospace and technology assets and drive sustainable growth for the community. “To accelerate Ohio job growth and economic recovery, we must work in strategic partnerships toward a common vision,” Strickland said. “The designation of Dayton as Ohio’s Aerospace Hub positions the region for near and long-term growth by building on its historic strengths in aerospace and technology innovation.”
The goal of the Ohio Hub strategy is for a region to leverage its resources to attract clusters of connected businesses, encourage new investments and an influx of talented workers, and create new opportunities to grow jobs and develop Ohio’s key industries. To be designated an Ohio Hub, a region must identify core strengths and develop a strategic plan for urban revitalization. A Hub designation is a commitment from both the state and region to work collaboratively and target economic development efforts toward building upon those identified strengths.
Dayton’s Ohio Aerospace Hub of Innovation builds upon the area’s strengths in aerospace, sensor technologies, and advanced materials to create new companies, sustain existing partners, and attract new investment based on Ohio’s world-class research, development, and industry assets, including the University of Dayton and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
“Ever since the Wright Brothers cemented Dayton’s place in aerospace history by inventing the airplane here, we have been creating an economic base built around invention, creativity and originality,” Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin said. “Today’s hub designation further solidifies the strong relationship we have forged between such institutions as the University of Dayton Research Institute, Tech Town, and Wright Patterson Air Force Base.”[[In-content Ad]]
