The Air Force has designated 16 acres at Wright-Patterson AFB for a $38 million STEM center, aimed at preparing future scientists and engineers. A signing ceremony will initiate this project, which has been on the Dayton Region Priority Development list for years.

The center will combine resources from partners like Air Camp and the Wright-Patterson Educational Outreach Office. Fundraising will begin to secure the necessary funding from federal earmarks, state spending, and donations. The project allows for a five-year timeline to finalize funding, design, and contractor hiring, marking a significant milestone for workforce development in the Dayton area.
