(from The City of Dayton)

The City of Dayton has applied for Ohio Dept. of Transportation funds to support reconstruction of streets and corridors essential for future growth. This “Tech Connect” project will dramatically improve Brown, Warren and Washington Streets (within the Ohio Aerospace Hub) and East First/Springfield Street (between downtown Dayton and Wright-Patterson AFB). These improvements (shown in yellow on the map linked here) would join other planned enhancements to South Main Street and Patterson Boulevard. Dayton is applying for $1.67 million in Ohio Dept. of Transportation TRAC funds to help make this proposal a reality.
