New area dog park to open thanks to local entrepreneur’s donation
A 2015 Yellow Springs High School graduate announced this week he would donate funds for the long talked about Yellow Springs dog park, making it a reality.
David Butcher, who owns Flyby BBQ and his family owns P&B Electric, will donate the funds to build and open the dog park in his hometown. The park is now expected to break ground in early May and be completed by September.
“I love dogs and I love this community,” Butcher said. “A dog park is just as much about people and community as it is about dogs. I’ve always wanted to help and get more involved.”
Beth Miller, president and CEO of nonprofit consulting firm Wagtown, was contacted by the village to help organize efforts around the dog park. Miller said because of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, opening the dog park seemed far away until Butcher stepped in.
