Ohio – The Leading Location for Aerospace Innovation

Ohio is leveraging next generation technology to stimulate innovation in the aerospace industry and create new jobs. I have become aware of a new project by Boeing-Heath that uses virtual reality technology to revolutionize the manufacturing process for aerospace products throughout the state and the entire Midwest.

The $1.25 million Virtual Manufacturing Center (VMC) will be located at the Central Ohio Aerospace and Technology Center (COATC) in Licking County. Project funding includes a $500,000 state-local incentive package and a $200,000 Rapid Outreach Grant through the Ohio Department of Development.

Does this type of investment by Ohio make the state more attractive in terms of site location and business expansion? Did you know Ohio is the leading location for aerospace innovation?
Let me know what you think.
