THE DAYTON DIGEST
🎮 More Fun Coming at Dayton Arcade
Downtown Dayton’s historic Arcade is opening even more to the public this year with additional retail spaces and event activity on the horizon. The iconic, half-million-square-foot building will soon host new shops and experiences that make it easier for locals and visitors alike to explore what’s inside beyond special events. While parts of the arcade have been in use for years, this expansion signals continued momentum in bringing life back to one of Dayton’s most beloved landmarks.
💧 City Tackles Salt Runoff in Winter Weather
Dayton is trying a new approach to protect local streams and rivers from road salt pollution during winter months. Thanks to an Ohio EPA H2Ohio Chloride Reduction Grant, the city now has equipment to produce and store salt brine, which helps treat icy roads with less environmental impact. Officials say reducing sodium and chloride runoff benefits not just waterways but also landscapes and lawns that drain into those systems.
🩺 Big VA Investment Includes Local Campus Work
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs plans to spend nearly $4.8 billion this year on facility upgrades nationwide, with several projects slated for the Dayton VA Medical Center campus. Local improvements include sewer repairs, fiber-optic upgrades and better medical systems, all part of the largest single-year non-recurring maintenance investment in VA history. Officials say the upgrades should improve care and support for veterans served right here in the region.
