The Ohio State Controlling Board has approved funds for new training equipment and upgrades to Wright State University.
$474,871 has been set aside to buy new workforce-based training equipment to help workforce development and student-centric research in advanced automation, manufacturing, and healthcare.
An addition $19,920 was given to the university to fund a project to rehabilitate wells and remove the current water treatment equipment.
“I have always been a strong advocate for Wright State and making investments in developing our workforce,” State Representative Brian Lampton (R-Beavercreek) said. “I am pleased the controlling board approved this new equipment that will help prepare students for in-demand jobs throughout the state.”
The Ohio State Controlling Board oversees the capital and operating expenses of state agencies from a financial legislative perspective.
