Clinton County public and business leaders recently gathered for a press conference to discuss the proposed state budget bill’s $6.04 million in county projects, with $3 million “for Wilmington Air Park aviation-related uses,” the Wilmington News Journal reports. Speaker of the Ohio House Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) said the county area “cannot thank the Dayton Development Coalition (DDC) enough” for advocating on behalf of the air park. “The Dayton Development Coalition made the Wilmington Air Park their number one [ranked] project. It’s because of their effort we were able to establish $3 million for the air park,” he said in the article. Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) President and CEO Joe Hete said the group hopes their latest customer, Amazon, will “continue the operation here in Wilmington,” saying he thinks the responses from state legislators “speaks volumes to them about what they can expect in terms of additional support going forward.” For more, read the full article.
