March 18, 20196 yr Dayton community to replace municipal building ‘inundated with bats’ The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investing $91 million to build or improve community facilities and services for nearly 300,000 rural residents in 12 states. This includes a new municipal in the Darke County village of Arcanum, which had contended with an animal situation. The $2.5 million project will create a 11,500-square-foot building to house the village of Arcanum’s police department and its administrative offices. The current building does not meet accessibility, safety or health standards. It also lacks a vehicle emission ventilation system, and was inundated with bats, according to a report.

March 19, 20196 yr Renewed momentum for Villages of North Clayton development Courtney Hart’s commute to work takes seconds. Hart, who with husband Ryan Hart own Ink & Co. Made in Ohio, picked a place to live in Clayton where they could start a business and live in close proximity. So when they heard of plans for a new mixed-use development there, they jumped at it. “We want to be close to the school, to the YMCA, to our neighbors and to businesses, where all of them could really look out for each other,” she said of the planned development along U.S. 40 close to Northmont schools, a walking path, and plenty of green space. While many suburbs have looked to reinvent a sense of urbanism, few have had the protracted development cycle as what’s planned in Clayton.

March 25, 20196 yr Good Samaritan Hospital demolition to begin in April, will take a year to complete Premier Health is moving ahead with demolition and site preparation for the former Good Samaritan Hospital site. The Dayton-based health network, which closed the hospital July 23, has chosen Cincinnati-based O'Rourke Wrecking Company for the deconstruction project. Premier also plans to use local subcontractors, though it did not identify other companies. Abatement work on the Good Sam site began in early March, and O'Rourke will start interior finish removal next week. They will begin with the Seton building. O'Rourke is expected to begin demolition of the hospital's exterior in April, and deconstruction will continue through the end of the first quarter in 2020. Demolition and site prep will cost approximately $10.4 million, Premier says.

March 28, 20196 yr Clayton...going...urban? How Clayton is cutting zoning time in half in a busy sector of town The North Main Street corridor in Clayton has never really given off a Main Street vibe that you see in towns where people enjoy walking in and out of local shops, cafes, galleries, markets and historic buildings. Instead, Clayton’s Main Street is a highly traveled commuter corridor dotted with retail strip centers and office buildings fronted by huge asphalt parking lots. There’s new hope, though, that the picture of this area will change thanks to the Main Street Overlay District that was adopted in May of 2017. “We’ve never really had a city center where you can say, ‘This is Clayton,’” said Jennifer Barclay, city planner. “Our residents desire a more small-town feel.” ... The overlay zoning district, “will allow developers and landowners to construct mixed-use buildings and encourage a more walkable and aesthetically pleasing environment along Main Street," according to the city's website. The goal is to create a more walkable corridor and “provide a variety of development options that work seamlessly with the physical character of Main Street while encouraging a mix of uses,” the city continues.

March 29, 20196 yr ^What's hilarious is the fact that Clayton has an actual downtown.... It's on the far western edge of town, right next to 49 North exit off I-70 (Exit 24). It was originally called Salem, and Salem Ave. went there. There's not much to it. Apparently even civic leaders in Clayton forgot their own history. If Clayton can pull it off, great, but housing values there are not increasing. They already have a failed new urbanist development that hopefully can be re-launched but the odds of that being a success are long. Plus the North Main corridor they are planning to make urban south to downtown is one of the most blighted commercial corridors in Ohio... not that the city of Clayton can really impact that corridor but it'll certainly impact what scared suburbanites think about moving to the north end of the corridor in Clayton. I'm hoping they have the budget for the streetscape improvements at least, it'll be a good first step for keeping North Main up there from becoming as blighted as the rest of North Main in Dayton.

April 18, 20196 yr West Carrollton plans redevelopment of historic downtown The city of West Carrollton is planning to invest $1 million to revitalize its downtown corridor. West Carrollton Economic Development Director Mike Lucking said the city established a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) area about 12 years ago to help renovate the former Fraser Paper site on South Elm Street. Lucking said West Carrollton City Council recently enacted legislation to create a new TIF area, expanding the boundaries of the original version to include West Carrollton's historic downtown, which starts around the intersection of South Elm Street and West Central Avenue. Lucking said in addition to broadening the scope of the TIF, city council also created a "rolling TIF" to allow for up to 30 years of financing for the new parts of the TIF area. The oldest buildings in downtown West Carrollton date back about 100 years, he said.

The Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum will mainly use the grant for the restoration and preservation of the historic chapel, as well as the administration building and the front gates. The structures are 132 years old and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery itself is listed as a National Historic District by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The undisclosed gift will push Woodland's fundraising goal closer to the halfway mark of the total funds needed for the project, which is $7.6 million. “This contribution from The Kettering Fund is such a wonderful legacy gift, especially considering all of the Kettering family members who are interred at Woodland,” said Tony Huffman, board member and campaign chair of Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum. “Mrs. Virginia Kettering especially was dedicated to the cemetery and its history, beauty and mission.

July 18, 20204 yr -^Very interesting that they are moving forward with that housing development in city limits. IMO this is happening because of how successful the Brantwood subdivision ended up being on a neighboring property fronting OH 201 (Brandt Pike). They were expecting a 10-year buildout and it happened in about 3 years. Same thing is happening for Pinnacle Ridge in Moraine... these infill subdivisions with the lower-priced Ryan houses are really taking off around Dayton. D.R. Horton is trying the same thing at Wolf Creek Run (right behind Salem Mall) in Trotwood. I'm hoping it turns out so maybe a redevelopment of Moss Creek will happen. I'm normally not a fan of subdivisions, but I am a fan of keeping people in Dayton and the inner ring suburbs over having them move outside the city once they get married and have kids. I'm also a fan of people in disadvantaged communities having access to affordable, new housing in their own community as long as it doesn't come at the expense of historic housing, buildings & neighborhoods with character. It may also help make the case for redevelopment of the former Meijer site within Dayton off Harshman at 201.
