Dayton leaders are considering declaring the former Montgomery County Fairgrounds a blighted area, which could help the group redeveloping the site obtain tax abatements.
OnMain, a partnership between Premier Health and the University of Dayton, wants the city to determine that the 38-acre fairgrounds property, across South Main Street from Miami Valley Hospital, is a blighted area that is eligible for a tax increment financing district.
These kinds of districts are supposed to serve as a financing and economic development tool that can help fund public infrastructure improvements and residential projects.

When it comes to simple dishes that satisfy none tug at my heart strings or stomach more than pizza.
Pizza to me is a gateway to childhood, it’s a door to unlocking carby cheese loaded satisfaction that envelops me, satiates me, comforts me, and leaves me with a smile on my face.
I love the diversity of pizza. Like people it comes in so many forms and offers a completely different flavor experience depending on your destination of choice.
