Ohio National Guard Breaks Ground on Lima Readiness Center

A groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday for the Ohio National Guard’s $32 million Lima Readiness Center. It’ll be constructed on 40 acres on Bluelick Road near the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution and will replace Lima’s current facility that’s almost 100 years old. The readiness center will provide space for training, administration, and logistical functions for two Ohio Army National Guard units that are currently based in Lima and Piqua.
