Fast Facts: Investment Fund Receives Grant from DP&L

The new Downtown Dayton Investment Fund (DDIF) was recently awarded a $450,000 grant from the Dayton Power & Light Company. Launched last fall through joint efforts between the Dayton Business Committee, CityWide Development, and the Downtown Dayton Partnership, the DDIF raised about $3.5 million to attract prospective businesses and entrepreneurs by improving office assets in the urban core, and increasing the number of jobs by stimulating the downtown office market. DP&L’s grant for the fund will assist business owners with energy programs and infrastructure.
