In Dayton we believe a community’s ability to support, link, and leverage its assets in a way that provides advantages to both existing businesses and new industries is critical to success. Our team of development professionals partner with business, academia, and institutional mainstays to implement dynamic asset-based development strategies. Here is our approach:

Fundamentals

The City supports four foundational components of an asset-based strategy:

• Provide a qualified workforce that better reflects the needs of area businesses and targeted industry clusters.
• Create marketable places and spaces by using City amenities to create environments that are attractive to employees and businesses.
• Brand and market an image that supports the City's vision statement
• Establish a pro-business environment by structuring government processes to not only allow creativity but to encourage and promote it.
