NEWEST DOWNTOWN DAYTON VENUE NOW OPEN FOR PRIVATE AND HOLIDAY PARTIES
SPONSORED
What was once a 20,000 sq. ft. ice cream cone factory in 1900 in the Historic Huffman District off of Fifth and Keowee had become a derelict, graffitied eyesore over the years until one creative couple saw its potential to be something great again. Remodeled and repurposed as a wedding and event venue, The Lift, as it's now called, is complete and taking bookings for private and corporate holiday parties! Tours are now open through TheLiftDayton.com.
WARPED WING CONFIRMS NEWEST LOCATION IN HUBER HEIGHTs
food & drink
The popular brewery already owns and operates three local locations in Dayton, Springboro and Mason but the selection for the company’s fourth regional location was a result of customer loyalty during the pandemic. According to co-founder Nick Bowman, the company delivered more beer to Huber Heights from its home delivery program during the pandemic than any other community. Construction is slated to begin this fall. More here.

CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED ON US ROUTE 40 EXPANSION
community
In recent years, when large distribution plants and businesses like Purina and Proctor and Gamble moved into the Vandalia area, U.S. 40 became “a busy stretch of road where locals, travelers, and semi trucks used to get bogged down in traffic. People rushing to the [Dayton] airport, truckers hauling goods, and locals trying to get home would all converge and get caught.” After two year of construction, the newly completed expansion project will fix this traffic problem and make the area safer.
