October 28, 20177 yr New ‘upscale’ condos proposed near downtown Dayton, UD The developers of the Flats at South Park project want to build about 30 new condos just down the road from the Brown Street business district .[...] The hope is to start construction on the building in the next six months, Hibner said, adding that the units likely would appeal to employees who work at the University of Dayton, Miami Valley Hospital, GE Aviation, Emerson Climate Technologies and others who want to live near but just outside of downtown. “It kind of tests the waters of being near downtown but not in downtown,” he said.

December 4, 20186 yr Proposed law could penalize Premier Health if it demolishes Good Sam A pair of local legislators have sponsored a bill that would penalize nonprofit health networks if they refuse to allow another hospital operator the opportunity to take over an abandoned facility. Co-sponsored by state Rep. Jim Butler (R-Oakwood) and Rep. Fred Strahorn(D-Dayton), the bill takes aim at Premier Health, which announced it was closing Good Samaritan Hospital in January. The Dayton-based hospital officially closed July 23. The new legislation would amend the Ohio Revised Code to ensure a hospital with nonprofit status, which includes Premier, is no longer exempt from property, sales and commercial activity taxes if the health network takes certain actions to reduce or cease operations at one of its facilities. Butler claims Premier is making sure Good Sam stays closed forever by demolishing the structure and placing a deed restriction on any new buyers, prohibiting them from ever building a new hospital with inpatients beds on the site.
