New Desns forDowntown Buldns UnveledAter months o work, the local architects’ work

on the Strategic Reuse Project is complete. Acommunity reception and press conerence

were held at the end o March to display the

renderings o ten o downtown’s historic ocebuildings (take a look at some of the new

desns nsde ths newsletter).

Last year, the Downtown Dayton Partnership

partnered with the local chapter o the Ameri-can Institute o Architects and 10 local architec-

tural rms to develop a strategic reuse plan ortargeted downtown buildings.

These 10 rms donated their expertise, cre-ativity and time to reimagine these landmark buildings. The goal is to devise potential new

uses and plans or these buildings and then link

them to potential developers who could trans-orm them back to more vibrant and productivespaces.

The rms participating in this project are AppArchitecture; The Architectural Group; Earl

Reeder Associates, Inc.; Greg L. Lauterbach,Architect, LLC; Je Wray Architects; John PoeArchitects, Inc.; Levin Porter Associates, Inc.;

Lorenz Williams, Inc., Matrix Architects; and Rog-ero Buckman Architects. These rms combined

have donated nearly $200,000 worth o theirtime.

To view the new design concepts, visit our Website at downtowndayton.or. There you’ll ndthe new renderings or the buildings as well

as some background on the buildings and therms behind them. You can also download an

electronic copy o a brochure which contains

the renderings

and highlightsdetails o the

new designs.

The next phaseo the project isto promote therenderings and

the designingrms’ services

to potentialdevelopers. In

2009, the DDPwill be conven-ing a Strategic

Reuse Imple-mentation

Committee. These volunteers will be lookingat ways to make these ideas reality. Develope

may also be able to take advantage o a varieo nancial incentives the city oers, includingthe Main Street Corridor Program, which is th

City o Dayton’sdevelopment

und or therestoration o

vintage build-ings. The Cityhas pledged $1 million per year or ve years

“I’d like to extend our thanks to Bob Shier, th

chair o this initiative, and the participating ror all o their hard work and dedication,” said

Sandy Gudor, President o the DDP. “We hopto see these ideas become a reality.”

Update on A Greater Downtown Dayton PlanWork continues in earnest on the development o A Greater Downtown Dayton Plan,

a unied blueprint or the region’s center city. A coalition o business and community

leaders rom the public and private sectors have been meeting on a regular basis,and smaller committees have begun addressing specic parts o the plan, such as

transportation, housing and education.

Community interest in the plan has been unparalleled. Three public meetings held

in February drew large crowds, with nearly 100 people attending each. In addition,

the public’s response to an online survey has been tremendous, with approximately

1,000 people completing it to date. Online comments and discussion at MostMetro.

com also have netted a great deal o valuable comments.

Now, all this input is being compiled and analyzed so that it can be orwarded to the

committees and eventually olded into the plan.

A Greater Downtown Dayton Plan will be strategic, results-oriented and realistic, es-

pecially when it comes to unding. It will establish a tactical game plan or the uture

o Greater Downtown and identiy collaborative strategies or creating a more vibrant

city. The eort is being chaired by Michael Greitzer, co-chair o the DDP; Dayton City

Manager Rashad Young; and retired physician and community philanthropist

Dr. Michael Ervin. For more inormation, visit downtowndayton.org or contribute

your thoughts and ideas on the discussion boards at MostMetro.com.
