Camp Ravenna Reveals Renovation Plans

The Ohio National Guard revealed their plans for improvements projects at Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center on Thursday. Included in the project is a $3.7 million Modified Record Fire Range, a $477,000 Fire and Movement Range (originally expected to cost $3.5 million), and a $5.1 million Sewer and Water Project; all part of the effort to train more U.S. Soldiers more thoroughly in Northeast Ohio.

Brig. Gen. Anthony P. Digiacomo II said, during the ceremony, the project has been more than a decade in the works, and means a lot to him personally.

Thursday's ceremonies included the ground breaking ceremony for the modified range, the First Shot Ceremony on the new fire and movement range, and the ribbon cutting ceremony at the site of the sewer and water project. You can see more, including a video of the First Shot Ceremony on our 1590 WAKR Facebook page.
