In total dollars, Washington Twp.’s gain of more than $203 million was nearly $90 million more than the next community (Oakwood) and just $30 million behind county leader Kettering.
“We’re fortunate that many people continue to see Washington Township as a premier community to live, work and raise a family,” Township Administrator Jesse Lightle said via email. “Our community is tremendously livable thanks to strong housing stock, healthy businesses, and quality public services that cater to families, from our recreation department to the library and Centerville schools.”
