A few years later this property (at the center of the photograph) would become the NACA\u2019s engine research laboratory.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On Monday November 25, 1940 Vannevar Bush, chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) announced that the NACA\u2019s new laboratory would be located in Cleveland, Ohio. That evening, Cleveland City Council passed an ordinance to transfer 200 acres of land adjacent to the Municipal Airport to the federal government for $1 per acre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NACA Executive Secretary John Victory noted, \u201cThere seems to be something in the spirit of the people in Cleveland that makes effective cooperation seem easy. We look forward with pleasure to the development of our engine research laboratory in such a city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today that laboratory is the NASA’s Glenn Research Center, a leading research institution and key economic driver for the Cleveland area. Without the dogged efforts of local officials in 1940, however, NASA Glenn may have ended up at one of the 61 other cities<strong> <\/strong>fiercely contending for the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As World War II broke out in Europe in the late 1930s, the NACA began dramatically expanding. This included a new laboratory to study aircraft engines. In the summer of 1940, localities across the Midwest submitted bids to host the lab. A team of NACA officials ranked the sites based on an impartial set of desired criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland\u2014home of the nation\u2019s most advanced airport, local aircraft manufacturers, and the National Air Races\u2014received one of the highest rankings. When local officials brokered a deal with the power company to discount its electricity rates in October 1940, Cleveland took the lead for good. Ground was broken for the new Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory near the airport on January 23, 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the NACA\u2019s site selection activities, Cleveland\u2019s aviation history, and efforts by city officials visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.grc.nasa.gov\/glenn-history\/nasa-glenns-arrival-in-cleveland\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center history page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Men in field with surveying equipment\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg 2060w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=300,206 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=768,528 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=1024,704 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=1536,1056 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=2048,1408 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=400,275 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=600,412 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=900,619 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=1200,825 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/grc-2011-c-00347.jpg?resize=2000,1375 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Surveyors in the field taking measurements for the NACA\u2019s engine laboratory in August 1941<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Robert S.
