DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Progress in the demolition of the old Elder-Beerman in Fairborn. “Right now, we’re two-thirds of the way through actual demolition,” said Mike Gebhart, community development director for the city. “Essentially, all the walls are down and they’ll start later this week and into next pulling the concrete slab out. Then, we’ll have an area that the property owner can market and hopefully you’ll see redevelopment in that spot.”
Gebhart says the city is paying for this up front and by code will bill the property owner back, and any unpaid portion will be assessed to the property as a lean. He says it’ll make it a much more attractive and marketable piece of property to have the building removed, which he says was a safety hazard.
Chris Wimsatt, the economic development director for the city, talked about some new additions to The Shoppes at Valle Greene courtesy of Oberer Properties, and how the city is building on its strong partnerships with WPAFB and Wright State.
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Talk about some smart cookies! Right now, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio are delivering their anticipated cookies, but they do so much more: projects to help friends, neighbors and to better their communities. Darlene Langout, director of regional services and Brownies, says they really focus on STEM education with the girls. She says by emphasizing learning centered around science, technology, engineering and math, they’re helping the girls prepare for strong careers.
Girl Scout cookie booth sales begin Friday, March 6. Hear what two local Brownies say is their favorite part about scouting.
