Ohio\u2019s and Nation\u2019s Technology Leadership and National Security at Risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A coalition of Ohio\u2019s economic development leaders is calling on Congress and the White House to reverse course on proposed deep cuts to NASA and NASA Glenn Research Center, warning of profound impacts to Greater Cleveland and the nation\u2019s technological leadership and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent budget proposals could slash up to 1,200 \u2013 or 40% \u2013 of NASA Glenn\u2019s workforce and contractors, far exceeding reductions at other NASA centers across the country. The cuts would threaten critical aerospace, energy, propulsion and communications programs, impacting technologies essential to national defense and global competitiveness. Temporary budget measures, including a continuing resolution, could also be damaging by depriving NASA of direction and stable long-term funding to advance strategic programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNASA Glenn has long been a crown jewel in Greater Cleveland\u2019s innovation ecosystem,\u201d said Baiju R. Shah, president & CEO of Greater Cleveland Partnership. \u201cThis is a moment for bold action from Ohio\u2019s bipartisan Congressional delegation, state officials and local leaders, to protect and grow the center, not dismantle it. We should be doubling down on innovation leadership at NASA and NASA Glenn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio has long been at the forefront of aviation and aerospace, and companies across the state and the nation rely on the research, talent and partnerships cultivated by NASA Glenn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShrinking NASA Glenn\u2019s capacity ripples through our business community, impacts our talent pipelines and STEM careers, reduces our competitiveness and threatens America\u2019s economic leadership and national security,\u201d said Matt Dolan, CEO of TeamNEO. \u201cWe must champion NASA Glenn and NASA and also continue our efforts to bring more of NASA here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work done at NASA and NASA Glenn also impacts America\u2019s national security and ability to lead in space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe important work accomplished by the professionals at NASA Glenn directly impacts America\u2019s national security and our standing in a world where space is an increasingly contested domain,\u201d said J.P. Nauseef, president and CEO of JobsOhio. \u201cFrom satellite communications to power systems for defense applications, these capabilities matter profoundly to our safety and strategic interests. Undercutting them now would hand a competitive advantage to America\u2019s rivals. Ohio is ready to stand up and fight for this future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe decisions made in Washington over the next few weeks will decide whether America maintains leadership in air, space, energy and communications, or willingly cedes it to others,\u201d added Shah. \u201cLet\u2019s not compromise our future. Let\u2019s fully fund NASA to protect and expand NASA Glenn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
