An international economic development journal has ranked Daytons Ohio Aerospace Hub website among the worlds top economic development websites for 2012.

The publication fDi Intelligence, a unit of the London-based Financial Times Group, specializes in foreign direct investment and the business of globalization.

The Ohio Aerospace Hubs website, created by Atomic Interactive, a Dayton-based web design firm, tied for 12th internationally in digital marketing among economic development websites and placed third among economic zone websites, which serve special areas targeted for development within a city, state or country. Another Ohio website that scored high was the Columbus Region, which came in at No. 2 in the website rankings just behind an Irish site.

This is a great acknowledgement of the hard work we are doing as a community to promote Dayton as a place for aerospace companies to be, said Keith Klein, senior development specialist with the city of Dayton.

The Ohio Aerospace Hub was designated by the state as a location for aerospace research and innovation. Hub partners include the city of Dayton, the University of Dayton, CityWide Development Corp. and the Dayton Development Coalition.

In October, commercial jet manufacturer Airbus said it wants to double the $12 billion it spends each year in the U.S. on aircraft components and signed an agreement with local officials that could establish a manufacturing training center in the Dayton area.

But in 2012, the Boeing Co. delivered the first 787 aircraft built in South Carolina. And within a few years, Alabama will join the jet-making club when Airbus workers in Mobile deliver their first A320.

Keeping Washington's aerospace industry happy is a necessity for government officials in 2013, as the state swears in a new governor.

"The challenge for the state of Washington is: How are they going to continue to grow the aerospace industry with the budget woes they've got?" said Scott Hamilton, an analyst with Issaquah-based Leeham Co.

More to the point: Can the state retain what it has?

In recent years, with the help of industry organizations, the state and local governments in Washington have gotten behind training and education efforts geared at the aerospace industry. With her term waning, Gov. Chris Gregoire earlier this month included another $26 million for aerospace training in her 2013 to 2015 budget proposal.

But it will be up to Gov.-elect Jay Inslee to set the state's aerospace strategy.

"Aerospace is one of the priority clusters in (Inslee's) jobs plan," Sterling Clifford, an Inslee spokesman, said in an interview Friday.

A looming wave of aerospace workers retiring will put pressure on the state to ensure there's a training plan in place to meet the industry's needs. Inslee is aware of that, Clifford said.

Linda Lanham, executive director of the Aerospace Futures Alliance, advocated for many of the worker training programs that are in place.
