State Representatives Phil Plummer and Tom Young have announced the approval of $78.7 million in funding by the Ohio Controlling Board. The funds are earmarked for enhancements at Dayton International Airport and Sierra Nevada Corporation in Dayton.
Rep. Plummer stated, "With the state’s investment in Sierra Nevada Corporation, which is located in my House District 39, we will see great job opportunities for people in the Dayton Region." He emphasized that Sierra Nevada is a leader in aerospace and defense and highlighted the investment's potential to improve community quality of life.
