Retain and grow Greater Downtown’s workforce to 50,000 by 2020.
Job creation and retention are critical to pumping new fuel into Greater Downtown. Downtown Dayton is fortunate to have a beautiful Main Street lined with architecturally distinct buildings, a variety of public spaces and a waterfront, all of which can be leveraged for future growth.

  • Develop and implement a strategic plan for the state-designated Aerospace Hub, designed to serve as an economic development driver while strengthening and promoting the aerospace industry.
  • Focus on recruitment and expansion of businesses in related target industries.
  • Right-size downtown’s office market in part by redeveloping current office space to more productive uses, such as housing, and in part with aggressive, coordinated recruitment and retention efforts.
  • Develop and implement a comprehensive broadband network.
  • Ensure parking solutions are included in all economic development efforts.
