Grand Openings...

And others in the works!

As the saying goes... you can't stop progress. And, Miami Township is always moving forward when it comes to development. Here are just a few of the latest happenings:

Tark, Inc. held its grand opening in April. The company designs high-quality pumps and cooling systems. We were honored to be part of ceremony, presenting Tark with a special proclamation. The engineering firm's brand new facility is located at 9273 Byers Road.

Popeye's Louisiana Chicken is serving up fried chicken at the corner of Alex-Bell Road and SR 741. The store celebrated its opening with a ribbon cutting in April and made a special donation to the Greater Dayton Humane Society.

In the works:

Construction of Homestead Village on SR 741 at The Exchange continues, as do renovations of Barnes & Noble into an Aldi store across from the Dayton Mall. And, we're about to welcome the Midwest Counseling Centers of Ohio to the Miami Crossing District on Kingsridge Drive. A few other major projects are just getting started. The Zoning Board has approved re-zoning requests, but now developers must submit their first design plans for approval:

Austin East: A piece of property on the east side of SR 741 just north of Austin Boulevard is being considered for development right now. The Zoning Board approved plans to re-zone the property for mixed use commercial development. A bank, drive-thru, hotel and office space are under consideration.

Hawthorn Suites: The building that is home to the hotel at 155 Prestige Place may become a new apartment building. Developers want to create 94 one-bedroom units, some of which would include a loft. The Zoning Board approved the re-zoning. Developers must now submit preliminary site plans.

Connor Group: You probably noticed the construction underway at The Connor Group at the corner of Austin Boulevard and SR 741. The real estate investment company is expanding its headquarters and updating its hangar for possible expansion in the future.
