Mike DeWine said it is the largest single job creation and payroll project that Ohio has announced. The governor said winning Anduril\u2019s manufacturing plant marks a continuation of Ohio\u2019s history of advanced aviation, which began with the Ohio-born Wright brothers and continues to grow surrounding the Dayton-area <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2024\/12\/16\/drone-sightings-lead-to-airspace-shutdown-at-ohio-military-base\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wright-Patterson Air Force Base<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are an aerospace state,\u201d DeWine said. He called Ohio \u201cthe brains of the Air Force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted and JobsOhio CEO J.P. Nauseef said that, through targeted economic development efforts, the state boasts a strong and diverse aerospace workforce. They said it also has a network of job training centers, colleges and universities prepared to educate new advanced manufacturing workers. Those helped attract the nationally competitive deal, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOhio has literally built a strategy around this kind of project, and so we are perfect for them,&#8221; Husted said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aerospace sector in Ohio includes the global headquarters of GE Aerospace and a new <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joby-taxis-ohio-aircraft-manufacturing-wright-brothers-12d38aaff14ebfbbf16cd2533d931ca9\" target=\"_blank\">Joby Aviation manufacturing facility near Dayton<\/a> that\u2019s preparing to manufacture <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2024\/05\/15\/house-bill-time-to-put-air-forces-flying-car-concept-into-action\/\" target=\"_blank\">electric vertical takeoff and landing<\/a>, or eVTOL, aircraft beginning this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril casts the Ohio facility as integral to its goal to \u201cRebuild the Arsenal\u201d of U.S. military weapons and platforms by \u201chyperscaling\u201d manufacturing with advanced software and production technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest development adds to what is becoming known as a \u201csilicon corridor\u201d based in Ohio. It includes Intel, which is building <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/technology-business-lifestyle-games-video-games-cb3e3a36f48416a25b5d00baa405f91a\" target=\"_blank\">a $20 billion chip factory<\/a> just east of Columbus, and Honda and LG Energy Solution of South Korea, which are building <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-ohio-north-america-columbus-24dc1bacf6a5aab9774993a205ed4b8a\" target=\"_blank\">a $3.5 billion battery plant<\/a> in nearby Fayette County that the automaker envisions as its North American electric vehicle hub. Ohio State University also announced plans in 2023 to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/technology-ohio-columbus-education-business-b761bb2cc7156c14e44f937352d2d212\" target=\"_blank\">$110 million software innovation center<\/a> to dovetail with those efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At separate upcoming state meetings, the Anduril project will pursue a job creation tax credit from the Ohio Department of Development and a $70 million infusion from the All Ohio Future Fund, which the DeWine administration and lawmakers established to help local governments prepare sites for economic development projects. JobsOhio also plans to provide the project a sizeable grant, whose exact amount will be announced once agreements are signed, as well as talent acquisition services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Production of military drones and autonomous air vehicles is envisioned to begin in July
