GE Aerospace’s RISE program continues to do just that.
Introduced nearly four years ago by CFM International — the West Chester Twp.-based 50/50 joint company created by GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines — the RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) program is zeroing in on technology that seeks to make commercial aviation 20% more fuel efficient with 20% lower carbon emissions than current commercial engines.
Here’s the latest.
GE Aerospace has plans to create 200 jobs in next 3 years, fueled by JobsOhio grant
What happened: A $9 million JobsOhio grant will helpGE Aerospace advance its next-generation propulsion systems for commercial aircraft, the company recently said.
The money will go toward new test equipment at the company’s Cincinnati headquarters and Peebles, Ohio test operations site.
Why it matters: The big Dayton-area employer will use the money to create more than 200 new engineering jobs by the end of 2028, GE also said.
What happened: Macy’s is shuttering dozens of stores as part of a previously announced plan for the retailer.
Among the stores slated to close: The Macy’s anchor department store at the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek is set to close early this year.
What they’re saying: “Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our bold new chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macy’s stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go–forward stores, where customers are already responding positively to better product offerings and elevated service,” said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive of Macy’s.
What happened: Ohio now officially has its own rules regulating the use of drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which will allow the state to charge Ohioans who operate drones recklessly, interfere with first responder activities, or commit other flying faux pas.
Some of the prohibitions:
Operating a drone in a reckless manner that endangers others;
Operating a drone in a way that is prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration;
Operating a drone that interferes with first responder activities.
What it’s like dining at Table 33, which has a dream team of restaurant pros
Contributing writer Alexis Larsen gives us a tour of Table 33, operating at its new Dayton Arcade home.
The setting: From the massive 90-foot wide, 70-foot high glass dome, to the Third Street Flemish façade said to be patterned after a guildhall in Amsterdam, to the colorful cornucopias in the rotunda, the Arcade is a very special city center steeped in Dayton’s past that deserves to have exceptional tenants to further cement it as a destination worth seeking out.
Opening night view: “We arrived for a 7 p.m. seating early to grab a drink at the swanky bar. With an impressive selection of wines and craft cocktails, it’s a great spot with a view of the arcade rotunda to post up and relax before or after dinner.”
Local nursing homes face fight to roll back staffing mandates
The situation: Local nursing homes face the looming roll out of minimum staffing mandates that industry trade groups have said they aren’t equipped to integrate, while advocates for older people say those mandates would improve living conditions for residents.
Why this matters: Most nursing home complaints in the area are related to staffing issues, according to the local Ombudsman Office, which investigates complaints about government agencies and services in nine area counties.
Ohio requires skilled nursing homes to provide at least 2.5 hours of direct care and services to each resident per day, according to the Ohio Administrative Code.
