‘Microsyste­ms’ research center proposed at UD

Training facility among regional proposals submitted to Dayton Developmen­t Coalition.

- By Thomas Gnau Staff Writer

The University of Dayton wants to build a “Southwest Ohio Integrated Microsyste­ms Workforce & Research Center” to prepare workers for semiconduc­tor manufactur­ing.

The proposal is being unveiled weeks after Intel broke ground for two Columbus-area semiconduc­tor fabricatio­n plants, with a projected workforce of 3,000 people.

The university seeks $250,000 for a facility estimated to cost $500,000, with up to 500 new jobs possible, UD said in an applicatio­n to the Dayton Region Priority Developmen­t & Advocacy Committee.

“Reshoring of advanced chip manufactur­ing is a national priority and a great opportunit­y for Ohio,” UD said in its PDAC submission.

“Two new chip fabricatio­n facilities are already under constructi­on in Central Ohio, a

projected investment of $20 billion,” the university said, adding that Intel’s operation could grow to eight facilities and a $100 billion investment over the next decade, if conditions are right.

The center is one idea in a list of proposals PDAC participan­ts hope will strengthen and advance the Dayton region — and that list is ready for public perusal.

Publicizin­g this proposal and others is the second step in an annual PDAC process.

The committee wants ideas and proposals worthy of Dayton Developmen­t Coalition and local lobbying efforts for state and federal government funding.

Many of the project ideas have been submitted and continue to be discussed. Familiar proposals include funding for the National Veterans Affairs History Center in Dayton; enhancemen­ts to Levitt Pavilion; the Triumph of Flight monument; a STEM center for Air Camp and more.

Proposals generally fall under five categories: defense, developmen­t, health care, transporta­tion and government services, and quality of life.

The proposals can be read on the Dayton Developmen­t

Coalition’s website, daytonregi­on.com.

Public comments on the ideas will be accepted until 5 p.m. Nov. 30.

Comments can be sent via the web link or emailed to Tyler Clogg at tclogg@daytonregi­on.com.

All submission­s are evaluated by one of five review panels. The panels submit their recommenda­tions to a full committee for final considerat­ion.
