Governor Taft visited BGSU on June 5, 2003 and presented the Center for Photochemical
Sciences with $2 million in Wright Capital Project funding to be used to
set up the Wright Photoscience Laboratory which will
create techniques and devices that will help make photochemical materials
and processes marketable.
The Wright Capital Project is a key part of the governor's Third Frontier
initiative, a $1.6 billion plan whose goal is to encourage and support Ohio's
growth in technology products and high paying jobs (read more...).

If we are to succeed, terms such as fuel cells, polymers and, yes,

audience of faculty, students, legislators, board of trustee members, government
officials and members of the business community. "These projects will
create new businesses and high-paying jobs in communities throughout the
state. (read more...)"
