WPAFB, Ohio -- More jobs are coming to the Miami Valley, thanks to planned expansion at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Now, state lawmakers are getting an update. Companies in the aerospace business are showing lawmakers how they are contributing to the local economy.

They are expected that when the jobs come to the base, the rest of the economy will see a big boost.

The aerospace industry is growing here and elsewhere in Ohio. Much of the growth is in medical research.
