Greater Downtown Dayton Plan

Greater Downtown Dayton Plan

42,000 employees. 20,000 residents.

40,000 students. More than 7 million visitors every year.
This is Greater Downtown Dayton.
This area already has much of what’s in demand today, along with big city advantages and small town conveniences. Still, Greater Downtown faces significant challenges. The strategies in the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan address those by helping Dayton build on its strengths. The Plan represents a new vision for Dayton’s center city that focuses on strengthening connections and creating a downtown attractive to investors, businesses, employees, residents, students and visitors. This vision focuses on the immense potential of Greater Downtown to become an authentic urban center and the turbine for our regional economy.

The future belongs to those regions taking urban revitalization seriously. Those are the regions that are and will continue to attract high-value jobs, young professionals and the businesses and institutions that want to employ them. To accept anything less for Greater Downtown would be selling Dayton’s legacy of innovation — and our community — short.
