☕️ What's Brewing Locally
💰 Dayton's SBA lending surges, with Fifth Third Bank leading the charge. The Dayton area has experienced a significant increase in Small Business Administration loan volume over the past year. Fifth Third Bank Dayton recorded one of the highest spikes among local financial institutions contributing to this growth. This upward trend signals potential expansion in the region's small business sector. The news comes as other financial indicators show mixed results, with mortgage rates dropping and several restaurant chains expanding in the Dayton market.
💡 Dayton Live secures $2.2M for major energy upgrades. The Ohio Department of Development awarded the grant as part of an $8.5 million statewide initiative supporting energy efficiency projects. Planned improvements include building automation upgrades, replacing chillers and light fixtures with LED alternatives across Dayton Live's venues. These updates are expected to reduce annual utility costs by approximately 15% at facilities including the Schuster Center and Victoria Theatre. The funding comes from the third round of the Advanced Energy Fund, which helps various organizations reduce energy consumption and costs.
