Excerpt
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded $7 million in federal funds to the Dayton region for collaborative effort, according to a news release from the Wright State Research Institute.
The Dayton region will be assisted in an effort to diversify job opportunities and grow the local economy through the grant from the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment’s Defense Industry Adjustment Program. The new funding, entitled The Dayton Metro Plan for Economic Diversity, was secured through a collaborative effort of 11 local entities comprised of government, institutions of higher education, and business.
The group sought funding to build the region’s commercialization infrastructure and support workforce development in the Dayton Metro area. The effort was led by leaders from the Dayton Development Coalition (DDC), Montgomery County, and Wright State University with the collaboration aided by representatives from the City of Dayton, University of Dayton, Sinclair Community College, Wright Brothers Institute, Learn to Earn Dayton, and Greene and Miami counties. The entities listed comprise the program’s advisory committee.
