A plan to open a center that would help recovering addicts at a vacant church in a Miamisburg residential neighborhood may draw legal action and drive away business.

The city “is taking a broad interpretation about the word church and public worship,” attorney David Chicarelli said.
Meanwhile, downtown bakery owner Joe Kelly, also a nearby resident, said he is “weighing my options” about keeping his business in the city.
