A signing ceremony at Wright-Patterson AFB will designate 16 acres for a new STEM center aimed at training future scientists and engineers. Fundraising efforts will target $38 million from federal, state, and philanthropic sources.

The center will host various educational partners and aims to consolidate resources for workforce development in the Dayton area. The project includes moving part of the base fence and securing a long-term land lease, providing a five-year timeline for development.
