The redevelopment is a collaboration between the Fairborn Development Corporation and Synergy.
The redevelopment plans include high-security office and research environments, high-bay areas for advanced manufacturing, and lab spaces for prototyping and R&D.
The project is currently in the design phase, with initial development activities expected to begin in Q4 2025.
The redevelopment is anticipated to serve as a key hub for defense-industry companies, while also creating opportunities for retail, restaurant, and community services
