A recently released report from the
Wildlife Management Institute, Responsive Management, and Southwick
Associates showed that wildlife-based recreation contributed nearly
$12.5 billion to Ohio’s economy in 2022, according to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.
“Ohio has rolling hills for hunting, vast waterways for fishing,
and thriving habitats for birding,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said. “The
diverse natural wonders of Ohio prove once again the state really is
‘The Heart of it All.’”
Governor DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted announced that the
state is partnering with Intel, JobsOhio, and the Ohio Grants
Alliance to formalize a semiconductor supply chain consortium in
Ohio's Silicon Heartland.
The creation of the Silicon Heartland Supplier Consortium will
better position Ohio to:
* Become one of two new semiconductor clusters in the United States.
* Help current and prospective Ohio suppliers compete for new
federal grant funding for semiconductor materials and manufacturing
equipment.
“Ohio is committed to ensuring the success of the Silicon
Heartland," said Governor DeWine. "Bringing together industry
partners to onshore this critical industry is key to strengthening
our national security, spurring future innovation, and making our
economy more resilient.”
“When we were working to attract Intel to establish its
semiconductor fab facility in Ohio, we knew that most of the jobs
would be created from the supply chain that followed,” said Lt.
Governor Husted. “The establishment of this semiconductor consortium
can play an important role in establishing Ohio as the Silicon
Heartland."

Chair of the Greater Cleveland Partnership’s Board of Directors Paul
Dolan for a fireside chat focused on economic development at the
organization’s annual Leadership Forum.
Governor DeWine announced that applications are now being accepted
for a fourth round of child care stabilization grants and that steps
are being taken to increase the base rates for publicly funded child
care beginning Feb. 4, 2024.
“We have been focused on increasing the safe, stable, quality child
care programs to ensure Ohio’s youngest students have the best
possible foundation for their future learning,” said Governor
DeWine. “We are now focusing on supporting early childhood
professionals in order to increase the availability of child care
spaces for working parents and caregivers.”

In accordance with the order issued by the President of the United
States and to honor the life and legacy of former First Lady
Rosalynn Carter, Governor DeWine ordered the flags of the United
States and the state of Ohio to be flown at half-staff upon all
public buildings and grounds throughout the State of Ohio effective
immediately until sunset the day of her interment, November 29,
2023.

Governor DeWine and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer placed a
friendly wager ahead of the rivalry football game between The Ohio
State University and the University of Michigan, commonly referred
to as "The Game."
“College football fans will have a great game to watch on Saturday
as the 11-0 Ohio State Buckeyes face off against the 11-0 Michigan
Wolverines,” said Governor DeWine. “I am confident that Coach Ryan
Day and The Ohio State Buckeyes will bring a win back to Ohio, so I
am making another friendly wager of ice cream with Michigan Governor
Gretchen Whitmer. O-H!”
This year, Governor DeWine has bet peppermint stick, hot cocoa
peppermint, and cow patty ice cream from Young's Jersey Dairy in
Yellow Springs and black raspberry chip ice cream from Graeter's in
Cincinnati.
