Proposed three-mile road project would expedite highway access to the Mound Advanced Technology Center business park in Miamisburg
When the nuclear weapons developer Mound Laboratory closed 20 years ago, Miamisburg lost its largest employer. Now, after "more than $1 billion in federal environmental cleanup" assistance, the 306-acre Mound Advanced Technology Center business park has "attracted 11 businesses and more than 250 jobs," the Dayton Daily News reports. City officials now have it in their sights to recover the 2,000 jobs that were lost when Mound Laboratory closed. To do so, they are pursuing a three-mile road project that is planned west of Interstate 75, known as the Mound Connector. By expediting access to the highway from the business park, the project will be "pivotal to the success of the park's development," the article said.
