We've had our share of bad news in Ohio over the past couple years, so I thought it might be kind of cool to create this thread for our top 7 metro areas. News can be big or small so long as it's postitve.

 

So, here's a couple of good things around Dayton recently:

Aerospace firm seeks Moraine growth

Dayton Business Journal - by Jacob Dirr

A joint venture between a local and a Phoenix-based company could yield about 25 new jobs in Moraine during the next three to five years.

 

The venture, which spawned a new company called CSafe LLC in September, is a partnership between Arizona-based AmSafe Inc. and Moraine-based AcuTemp Thermal Systems.

 

AmSafe has more than 1,000 employees throughout the country and AcuTemp has about 50 in Moraine.

 

CSafe will occupy about 20,000 square feet in a facility on Springboro Road West in Moraine, said Brian Kohr, president of AcuTemp and acting general manager of CSafe.

 

Ohio will provide $132,000 in tax credits, for the $220,000 project.

$1.5B in construction on tap in ’09

Dayton Business Journal - by Tom Demeropolis

Ken Herr, vice president of corporate development for Shook National Corp., said the total may be even higher, if highway construction and development work is added.

 

“It’s been fortunate for the community. There is a lot of work in the Greater Dayton area,” Herr said.

 

Health care, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and education have been the drivers behind the commercial construction boom. The top projects in the region all center around one of those three sectors. With so many big-dollar projects going on, builders said this year will keep them busy. It’s 2010 and beyond that they are worried about.

Okay, just so I don't flood this board, I'll probably launch 1-2 of those other 6 threads I promised every day that I'm online, instead of in one big lump.

Nice, im subscribed

Due to the non-response in this thread, I will not post similar threads for other cities, and instead slowly let this thread die.

I think it's good. Lots of people read it and don't always comment for one reason or another.
