DAYTON DIGEST
✈️ Big Investment in Dayton’s Aviation Future
Joby Aviation agreed to buy a massive 728,000-square-foot building in Vandalia for about $61.5 million, the largest single commercial property sale in Montgomery County over the past year. The electric aircraft maker plans to use the space to expand production of its vertical-takeoff aircraft, aiming to build four aircraft per month by 2027. Local business leaders see the purchase as a sign of growing advanced manufacturing momentum in the region.
🛩️ Air Force Museum Joins Ohio’s 250th Anniversary Celebrations
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson is marking America’s 250th anniversary with a yearlong showcase of aviation and space innovation. Exhibits and monthly themes tied to the statewide America 250-Ohio initiative will highlight iconic Ohio-connected milestones in air and space history, with QR codes that let visitors explore stories behind featured artifacts.
🍴 A Feast for the Mind and Belly
Get ready to rethink how food connects us at the University of Dayton’s week-long Food and Culture Festival from Feb. 2–7. The festival will bring dialogue with local culinary artists, discussions on food access and justice, performances, and a keynote from noted food historian Michael Twitty to campus venues. Organizers hope the event will spark community conversations about food as a form of cultural expression and storytelling that everyone can relate to.

University of Cincinnati to Cover Tuition for Many Ohio Students from Families Earning Under $75,000
Families across Ohio now have a clearer path to a four-year degree as the University of Cincinnati announced it will cover the remaining tuition costs for in-state students from households earning less than $75,000 a year beginning in fall 2026. The new Bearcat Affordability Grant fills the gap after Pell Grants, scholarships and the Ohio College Opportunity Grant, making college far more attainable for many Dayton-area students and their families. UC leaders say the move is part of reinvesting in the university’s growth and preparing more Ohio graduates to enter high-demand careers that strengthen the regional workforce. For Dayton neighbors watching college costs climb, this is a major shift toward opportunity and economic mobility.
