Key Takeaways:
Scotts Miracle-Gro has donated $25,000 to the Ohio Air & Space Hall of Fame (OAS) to support the restoration of the original 1929 Port Columbus Air Terminal.
The project aims to transform the historic, three-story terminal into a state-of-the-art aviation-themed education, training, and event venue.
The donation is significant due to Scotts Miracle-Gro's historical connection to Port Columbus, having installed the airport turf in 1929, and contributes to the OAS's larger $8 million fundraising campaign.
