Congressman Turner Discusses Dayton’s Economic Future at Regional Development Forum

October 21, 2026 Press Release DAYTON, OH — Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) joined the Dayton Development Coalition, Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of regional business leaders Wednesday for the Dayton Region Economic Development Forum, where he discussed continued economic growth and investment across the Miami Valley. “Dayton has a strong and diverse economy, with major strengths in manufacturing, healthcare, higher education, technology and defense,” said Rep. Turner. “The opportunity now is to build on that success and create even more jobs, investment and growth across the region.” “The policies and investments we pursue will affect whether a manufacturer expands here, whether a startup can grow here, whether a young person can find a career here, and whether our region can continue competing for major investments,” said Rep. Turner. The forum included regional economic updates, an overview of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce Research Foundation’s Blueprint for Ohio’s Economic Future and a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges facing Ohio’s economy.
