Huber Heights hires music venue management company, the same company from Cincinnati that they used to produce the study promoting the music boondoggle. It's certainly worked out well for Music and Event Management, Inc., owned by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and which manages Riverbend.

Somebody plans to build something like the Greene on the old Fairgrounds property.

"The “Midtown District” project is intended to attract and retain young professionals ages 22 to 35, which is a challenge for the Dayton region, said David Dickerson, Miller Valentine president and partner."

Where are these young professionals going to come from? Where are they going to work?

"The district would feature 600 residential units and at least one hotel; about 104,000 square feet of retail space, including a grocery store and free-standing restaurants; and more than 141,000 square feet of office space, according to the site plan."

Businesses and residents might move out of downtown to the new development, but where are the new businesses and people going to come from? Doesn't this developer know Dayton's population has been declining for 50 years with no end in sight?

"But those plans depend on Miller Valentine securing public and private funding for the estimated $18 million cost to purchase the fairgrounds property, and to acquire and develop a 70-acre parcel at the Northbrook Industrial Park in Brookville for the site’s current tenant, the Montgomery County Agricultural Society."

Taxpayers have to pay for it. That's what makes it worthwhile for him. No thanks.
