Industrial site moves closer to reuse with $296K grant

The money will pay for an assessment to help determine underground contamination and whether the property needs to be remediated.

In November 2009, the city of Dayton’s well field fund awarded the township $779,180 grant. The county provided an $80,000 federal grant. A demolition contract was awarded to Steve Rauch Demolition and Wrecking and the demolition completed this month.

It’ll still be another three years before the site can be marketed for office space, said Jack Kuntz, development director for the township. The property is owned by the state because it was forfeited by a bankruptcy, he added.
