U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan secured about $100 million in federal funding in a House Appropriations Committee bill for defense-related advanced manufacturing and research development that he said “will likely benefit firms and institutions” in the Mahoning Valley.

“By making key investments in our national security, bolstering workforce training programs and identifying new research and development opportunities, this bill will keep Americans safe while creating valuable jobs at home and positioning Ohio to be at the center of the economy of the future,” said Ryan, D-Howland, who serves as vice chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee.

The House Appropriations Committee recently approved the bill.

The funding is expected to be approved in a more comprehensive government omnibus funding bill by the House and the Senate in the fall, said Caty Payette, Ryan’s spokeswoman.

While the money isn’t specifically earmarked for Valley projects, Payette said: “It’s our intention for them to benefit those in our district. These are going to be competitive and corporations and companies in our district will have to apply for them.”

The bill, according to Ryan-s office, includes:

$12 million for advanced design and engineering capabilities for small businesses that support manufacturing. The Youngstown Business Incubator and Youngstown State University do similar work.

$12 million to develop hypersonic weapons systems. Ursa Major Technologies in Youngstown is doing work like this.

$10 million in research and development funding to enable improvements in producing liquid hydrogen fueling systems and making them more affordable. NEOEx Systems Inc. is doing related work at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Vienna.

$10 million to support the development of an affordable and reliable industrial base and manufacturing capability that will be responsive to warfighter needs. America Makes in Youngstown is leading a similar effort.

$10 million to support the Department of Defenseás operational and modernization missions related to additive manufacturing. American Makes is also working on this issue.

$10 million for domestic development of custom alloys for additive manufacturing for hypersonic and other high-temperature applications. Tailored Alloys in Youngstown is involved in such work.

$5.5 million for training and skills building in digital modeling. YSU is doing work in the area.
