The Dayton/Montgomery County Port Authority was created by the City of Dayton and Montgomery County to assist in the economic development process. Ohio law allows the Dayton Port, and other port authorities, to construct facilities, issue bonds, make loans, and sell or buy real and personal property. Port Authorities can loan or secure funds, receive grants, and buy assets all to facilitate incentive-driven financing transactions, and related development. As a government entity, The Dayton Port exists to facilitate economic and community development, capital investment, and job creation and retention in southwest Ohio.
