The City of Dayton Office of Economic Development runs two grant programs aimed to foster job creation and business growth. Its Dayton Economic Attraction Program provides annual grants for up to three years (capped at $1 million) to businesses that create at least five new, living-wage, full-time jobs in the downtown area or in key industry sectors. Through the Dayton Development Fund, it also provides grant funding for local business expansion projects that create or retain jobs. The Office’s work in 2013 is credited with retaining over 800 jobs, creating over 575 new jobs, and generating $47.4 million in private project funding.
