Dayton

Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center, Dayton, OH

North Carolina may call itself the birthplace of aviation, but Dayton -- as the birthplace of Orville and Wilbur Wright -- is the real McCoy. Now home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base -- with some 26,000 employees, it's the state's largest single-site employer -- Dayton continues to be first in flight while also emerging as a leader in Ohio's new economy. A rising tide of high-tech firms in sensors, human sciences, information technology and healthcare -- and world-class partnerships between business, government and academia (University of Dayton, Wright State University, Sinclair Community College and others) -- have the Dayton region well positioned.
