Kroger’s first commercial drone delivery only took a few minutes Wednesday. But there’s an historical through-line between that brief flight in Centerville and years of work by local advocates pursuing federal authorization for a certain kind of drone research in the Dayton and Springfield areas.
That first drone delivery did not happen in the New Jersey backyard of TELEGRID Technologies’ drone operator Drone Express. It didn’t happen in the vicinity of Kroger’s Cincinnati headquarters or any of the company’s Queen City stores.
