East Central Avenue Land Use Study

The City of Miamisburg is excited to announce the kickoff of a future Land Use Study along the East Central Avenue roadway corridor!

We’ve selected a qualified consultant team to lead this project, which aims to engage with city council, staff, business owners, and residents along the corridor. Input from property owners is crucial as we work together to develop a comprehensive land use plan that will guide future decisions and ensure that future development projects align with our community's vision and objectives. We look forward to your participation and insights throughout this important project.

What is Being Studied?

The project area spans approximately 111 acres across 87 individual land parcels along East Central Avenue, from N. Heincke Road to N. Gebhart Church Road. The area, which is expected to see some development in the coming years, includes a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zones, with diverse existing land uses. The consultant team will conduct a focused land use analysis that considers current conditions, zoning regulations, and potential development opportunities, with the input of residents and property owners, to create a land use plan to guide future decision-making.

How Can I Participate?

Your input is crucial to the success of this project. The City is committed to engaging with residents, property owners, City Council, and staff throughout the study process. We invite you to participate in meetings, surveys, and other feedback opportunities to share your thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the future of East Central Avenue. See upcoming events below and sign up below to stay tuned for updates on how you can get involved and help shape the future of our community.

Key components of the analysis include gathering economic and demographic data to assess current conditions, analyzing market trends, and identifying growth sectors. Actionable insights for land use planning will be provided via a Final Report. The Final Report is available via the link below.
