Armco land chosen for Middletown armory site
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Cooper of the Ohio National Guard approved a six acre Armco land tract on the south end of Middletown near Route 4 as the armory site. The Johnson Ingwersen committee helped vet options, with other sites offered by WPFB landowners and Commercial Realty Co. The move aims to locate a $250,000 facility with a 3,000 to 4,000 seat auditorium for community use and two Ohio National Guard units.
