SR 64: Support moving NASA headquarters to Cleveland
The proposed bill aims to support the relocation of NASA's headquarters to Cleveland, Ohio. Ohio is considered the birthplace of aviation and has produced numerous pioneers in space exploration. The state continues to lead the nation in aerospace research and development, with world-class research institutions such as NASA Glenn Research Center. Relocating NASA's headquarters to Cleveland would honor Ohio's contributions to aerospace and space exploration, reinforce the state's position as an international leader, and best position NASA for sustained success. The bill encourages the relocation of NASA's headquarters to Cleveland, Ohio, and requests that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the President, Vice President, NASA Administrator, and news media of Ohio.
