Across our city and all of our five um districts that we track our development in.

I am happy to report that nearly 400 million dollars has been invested.

I won't steal any more of the staff's thunder, uh, except to say thank you to uh the City of Dayton Economic and Development staff, the planning staff, and the housing staff, as well as our partners at Citywide Development, who really are on the ground working the strategies that help us attract investment across our entire city.

So without further ado, I will turn it over to Veronica Morris to start off the presentation.

Good morning, mayor commissioners, city managers, and city staff.

Um as city manager DC stated, this is our 20 by 26 commission update.

What we will highlight in this exciting presentation are those projects that were completed in 2025, in addition to those that we are currently and actively working on in 2026.

Um sharing the stage with me will be my colleagues from planning neighborhoods and development, Tony Kroger, our manager of planning, in addition to Sarah Geist, who is our manager of community development, and in the audience today is Emily Crow, who is the deputy director of planning neighborhoods and development.

Development update overview.

Today's update, once again, is looking at the activities over the last 12 months.

We're looking at the work that reflected that reflects the goals of our adoptive plans throughout the city, and focusing on our key partnerships, which is driving more dollars into our neighborhoods, addressing citizens' concerns, and finally city dollars that leverage private and other public funds.

Geography update, the development update by geography.

In 2025, 39.4 million was invested in West Dayton, North Central or Northwest, 13.5 million, Northeast, 250 million, which also includes development at the airport.

Southwest, Southeast, 1 million, and greater downtime age 7 million.

So as you can see, investment has happened through our purpose map out of our city.

West Dayton completed projects in West Dayton, again, totaling 39.4 million includes DuPont polymers on Nicholas Road.

Again, one of our silent partners every year.

They completed a project in 2025 that totaled $19 million in private investment, created five new jobs, and retained 82 full-time jobs.

German Town Crossing, a great housing redevelopment or development at site on Germantown, 16 million of public-private investment.

The city committed 2.5 million.

GDPM was our partner, as well as citywide development was also in the audience, and that helped us create 50 units of Morgan's catering.

The exciting thing about Morgan's catering and fashion remedy, the two I'm going to speak to.

It talks about our small business development.

Oftentimes we talk about the great things that are happening that are of the larger companies that invest, but it's also our small businesses that employ neighborhood folks that also allow us to help people realize their dreams as small business owners.

So Morbuse Caterers, he was a food truck, he's a food truck owner who decided to open a brick and mortar in Wright Dunbar.

The City of Dayton invested $30,000 for him to realize and help leverage $250,000 of its own private investment to open a full-scale restaurant that also includes a bar indoor and have you seat.

That's your remedy is a small boutique also located in Wright with 150,000 of private investment.

The city invested $35,000 into this product.

So this is $35,000 in private and West State Development Trust Funds to help we can help the small business owner and create and support the retail investments that's happening along the right dunbar business corridor.

And then finally the booth bank.

They have an awesome public space that was $4 million of investment happen.

The City of Dayton contributed $723,000 to make this happen.

And again, it's a food base continued to commit into West State, the city of Date, the Dayton region, but more importantly, some of our most vulnerable residents.

Active development projects in West State.

Dayton Children's West Urgent Care and the parent of a child with a chronic illness.

This is so exciting.

Really seeing this here of full service urgent care that will house pulmonary functions, X-rays, and other much needed medical assistance to those children in 45417 who have a very vulnerable and have a lot of health issues bringing in the city.

The groundbreaking will happen on Monday the 13th.

The city will be contributing 250,000 towards this costume venture.

Miami Chapel DeSoto Bass rebuild 70 units of affordable housing, 16 million in private investment.

Again, one of the great partnerships with GDPM.

One of our favorites is Zion Cultural Center.

So we have secured through a public process, a developer for the former Zion Cultural Center.

They are asked, they're thinking of investing 38 million dollars in 1000 units of mixed income housing.

We have gone through the plan board process.

We have worked with the developer.

They have actually engaged with the community.

So we are excited to announce this as one of our new projects for 2026.

And again, the Dayton West High on the corner of Third and Abbey.

92, 9.2 million of ARPA funding will be used to for the new construction of a much needed West police station in West State.

North Central.

North Central saw $13.5 million of investment in 2025.

3.1 was when Te Hoover Place was invested at Hoover Place Lost.

And this was the restoration of 10 units of a world procedure house.

The city committed 1.5 million in our buildings.

Sarah, if you want to speak a little bit about this project, I know your team helped manage it.

Okay, it's working.

Good morning, everyone.

This was through ARPA, and it built upon some of the other renovations that have been out at the Hoover Senior Campus.

There are four or five projects out there that all have very similar names.
