The Greene County Department of Development and the Greene County Board of County Commissioners are pleased to award a $20,000 Community Investment Grant to Silvercreek Township to support the planning and architectural work for a proposed new Fire/EMS station.

This investment will help establish the station’s operational needs, conceptual layout, approximate square footage, and preliminary project costs - critical steps in preparing for future design, construction, and funding opportunities.

The proposed station is intended to serve Silvercreek Township, the Village of Jamestown, and Ross Township, strengthening emergency response infrastructure across the community.

By supporting this early planning phase, Greene County is helping Silvercreek Township prepare for continued residential and economic growth while positioning the project to pursue additional funding for this long-term public safety investment.

We’re proud to support local communities as they plan for the infrastructure and services needed to keep residents safe and prepare for the future.

The Greene County Department of Development and the Greene County Board of County Commissioners are pleased to award $10,000 through the Community Investment Grant program to Ross Township to support a comprehensive update to the Township’s zoning regulations.

The grant will allow Ross Township to contract with the Greene County Regional Planning Commission to review and update its zoning regulations, helping ensure they reflect the Township’s current needs and future goals.

Most importantly, the process will provide Ross Township residents with opportunities to participate directly and provide input on the future of their community. Community involvement is an important part of creating zoning regulations that support responsible growth while reflecting local priorities.

Exciting news for Greene County and the Dayton region: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is expanding its presence near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base with a new 22,000-square-foot innovation hub at 4123 Colonel Glenn Hwy. in Beavercreek.

The facility, expected to open in Spring 2027, will focus on hardware, software, autonomy development, rapid prototyping, integration, and testing of next-generation unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) supporting U.S. Air Force programs. It will also feature a mission operations center for remote flight control, experimentation, training, and demonstrations.

The expansion is expected to bring 50 new full-time jobs to the community and increase GA-ASI's local footprint by more than seven times its existing space.

This investment further strengthens Greene County and the Dayton region's position as a hub for aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, and UAS technologies, while bringing additional high-skilled employment and innovation opportunities to our community.

A great announcement for Beavercreek, Greene County, and the entire Dayton region!

Greene County is preparing to open the application process for the FY27 Demolition and Site Revitalization Program. Greene County will accept applications from local jurisdictions for eligible demolition and site revitalization projects within their communities.

We encourage each jurisdiction to begin identifying potential projects now, and to consider how the proposed demolition will contribute to the long-term revitalization of the property. Potential
projects may include vacant, abandoned, blighted, or nuisance structures where demolition would address an identified community need and support future redevelopment or productive reuse of the property.

Congratulations to Radiance Technologies on its continued growth in Beavercreek! 🎉

The Alabama-based, employee-owned defense contractor plans to expand its Pentagon Boulevard operations with additional office and laboratory space, creating 60 new positions and nearly $7 million in new annual payroll, while retaining 391 existing jobs.

Radiance’s continued investment is a great reflection of the strength of the Dayton region’s defense and aerospace ecosystem, particularly the talent and opportunities connected to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

From establishing its first Dayton-area office in 2004 to nearly 400 employees in the region today, Radiance has become an important part of Greene County’s growing defense industry. We’re excited to see their continued investment and success in Beavercreek!

We are pleased to announce the award of the contract for Universal Waste Abatement, Interior Demolition, and Site Restoration of the former Applied Sciences buildings at 141 W. Xenia Avenue in Cedarville to BELFOR USA Group, Inc. (BELFOR Property Restoration).

This important first step will prepare the site for its next chapter, breathing new life into these former research and development facilities while laying the groundwork for expanded recreational opportunities that will benefit the community for years to come.

Many residents may remember spending summer days swimming, diving, and relaxing at Sportsman's Lake throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Today, Silver Cup Lake Adventures is leading the effort to restore this scenic destination to its former glory while creating a fresh identity with new amenities, attractions, and outdoor experiences for residents and visitors alike.

We're excited to watch this transformation unfold and look forward to sharing updates as the project progresses!
