Dev Test County • March 16, 2026

โ€‹

Good morning, Dev Test County. June 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark moment for Ohio's research sceneโ€”Wright State University just scored the Air Force Research Laboratory's Organic Materials Chemistry Program Review, bringing top scientists to Fairborn's Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building. It's the kind of gathering that quietly positions our region as a legitimate tech and innovation hub.

In less glamorous but equally important news, Ohio educators are navigating another round of spring testing logistics with March's assessment windows and family report deadlines, while environmental crews continue their decades-long cleanup work at the former Erie Army Depot in Ottawa Countyโ€”a Cold War-era artillery site that's been undergoing remediation since closing in 1967.
