New Comprehensive Plan on the Horizon
Take our survey
|
|
The Miami Township Community Development Department is preparing a new Comprehensive Plan.
The Plan
, as you'll hear it called,
will help township leaders make decisions consistent with the community’s vision for land use, services, transportation, parks and recreation, and housing, among other topics.
Your input is critical to the creation of this comprehensive plan. The first step residents and business people can take is to fill out our survey. Tell us what you like, what you don't like and how you'd like the township to develop. More surveys will follow as this yearlong process unfolds. After you fill out the survey, visit our website often for updates and information as
The Plan
moves ahead.

Dayton's St. Vincent de Paul chapter is participating in the national
Friends of the Poor Walk
on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, at 10 a.m. The two-mile trek wanders through the beautiful grounds of
Cox Arboretum
. A luncheon will follow at St. Henry's Parish Activity Center across the street from the park.
Miami Township is proud to support this year's event and encourages our residents to lace up their walking shoes to take part. The walk draws attention to people in need throughout the area. When you register, be sure to make St. Henry Parish the beneficiary to guarantee that your dollars remain right here in our community.
The St. Vincent De Paul Society works directly with those in need by assisting them with food, rent, utility payments, transportation, clothing and furniture. Members serve as advocates for the needy to help bring about positive change in the community. The Dayton area chapters served more than 23,000 people in 2018.

CANstruction is back and building on the success of our inaugural year. This year's friendly competition is bigger than last and promises more elaborate structures.
CANstruction brings teams of local builders, contractors, architects, manufacturers and others together at the Dayton Mall to build structures entirely of canned goods. The cans are then donated to The Foodbank who then distributes it to those in need here in the Miami Valley.

2018's Peoples' Choice winner, CESO, Inc., is back to defend their title. They constructed the FortNite Llama last year and promise something even more ambitious this year!
Build Day is set for Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the
Dayton Mall
. Teams have from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to create their structures. Everyone is welcome to watch the sculptures being built, but we suggest you visit early. Many of the teams get started right at 8 a.m.
Nearly 31,000 cans were donated to
The Foodbank
in 2018. This year, at least 15 teams will strive to donate even more! Our goal? 50,000 cans! Come join the fun at the Dayton Mall, Oct. 2, outside of Macy's. Sculptures will be on display until Oct. 14, and you can vote on your favorites on the
