February 6, 20205 yr ^ it is a massive transformation... honestly the rebirth of downtown Dayton east of Main to, say, Keowee is probably the fastest growing part of the Dayton region, aside from all of the houses being built out in Carriage Trails in Huber. It's definitely the fastest growing office and restaurant/bar area around. Huge change from 7-8 years ago when we were all just hoping the vacant buildings could avoid demolition... what a great change!

I know Dayton isn't a transit utopia where it's really possible to live truly car-free, but we already have infinite parking downtown as it is. As much as I want to agree with you, I think it makes sense to get this project done so momentum continues in this area. In Dayton as elsewhere, we can't let the perfect ruin the good. At least this money is going into downtown Dayton which needs the investment and into a huge historic building as well. Totally see your point though. It's unfortunate but true that our urban areas will continue to need giant parking garages to entice non-urban spending until we have quality regional and inter-regional transit options (fixed rail).
May 28, 20232 yr Agreed on the parking garage… but from what it sounds like, the garage will be used as some of the overall square footage inside the Delco complex’s square footage. I’m not sure how that building is constructed, but here’s how I see it:- IF the buildings have a basement, and the parking garage will be basement + first floor behind ground level retail only, then so be it. There’s not really a better use for that space. The retail market in general can’t support large floor print stores anymore, especially not downtown- IF the garage is first + second floor or something like that, then it definitely shouldn’t be done and tax credits shouldn’t be given through the Port Authority. Those tax credits will essentially cement those floors as a parking garage for life. Parking garage conversions back to residential are happening downtown (fire blocks district) and fortunately seem to be easier than, say, office conversions because there’s no demo and the space is wide open. So it’s not worst case for the future at all, there’s hope, but thing tax credits to the garage means use as a garage for a very long period of time and is unfortunate.
