A long-range study focusing on potential development of land near Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport outlines options that include a light industrial park housing at least 500,000 square feet of building space.

The study commissioned by the Miami Twp.-Dayton Joint Economic Development District Board of Directors suggests three configurations for the city of Dayton-owned land – potentially more than 80 acres – south of Austin Boulevard and east of the airport in the township.
