Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Vandalia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Dayton airport air service and economic development
The airport is rebranding, adding low-cost Breeze Airways flights, and trying to recapture travelers who drive to Cincinnati or Columbus. Development around the airport has created over 4,000 jobs and sends about $1.2 million a year to Vandalia schools through TIF/CRA agreements. The chamber wants Vandalia to chip in $25,000 for the air-service incentive fund.
Community magazine proposal for Vandalia and Butler Township
Best Version Media wants to launch a free monthly magazine full of local family and business stories, paid for by sponsor ads. The city would just champion it and help find a local publisher to run it.
Economic development funding via VDC
The city is putting money toward the Vandalia Development Corporation to fund economic development incentives.
Downtown revitalization funding
Over $106,000 moved into the Job Creation and Revitalization Fund to fund a downtown master plan, market studies, and improvements aimed at bringing jobs and businesses downtown.
