in Ohio*

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) Ohio Governor Mike DeWine sent a letter to President Donald Trump [ [link removed] ] today encouraging the President to establish the U.S. Space Command headquarters in the Dayton region. In his letter, Governor DeWine highlighted Ohios rich aviation history and benefits of co-location with the Air Force Research Laboratory, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and the Air Force Materiel Command. He also highlighted the NASA Glenn Research Center and NASA Plum Brook Station, as well as the Battelle Memorial Institute.

Ohio possesses a strong track record in populating science-rich jobs with a superior workforce. I also recommend that Secretary Esper strongly consider the consolidation of space intelligence activities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the establishment of the Space Development Agencys mission in Ohio, thereby taking advantage of our Air Force research, intelligence and acquisition expertise, and our NASA Glenn facilities in Cleveland and Plum Brook, Governor DeWine wrote.

Governor DeWine is committed to having the state of Ohio be a key partner in the national aerospace mission and a leader in the nations next aerospace age.
