Welcome Message
Welcome to the official website of the City of Miamisburg. If you are accessing this site, you are likely looking for information about our remarkable City and we trust you will find it both useful and easy to navigate. Here, you will discover a wealth of valuable information, including financial transparency facilitated by the Open.gov software, as well as news and other community-related updates.
Miamisburg is a unique place and one can truly feel the community pride while walking through the downtown area, shopping in our stores and dining in our restaurants. The Historic Downtown District has experienced a genuine revival over the last decade. It not only retains a distinctive historic ambiance but has also evolved into a lively destination for special events and recreational activities. Much of this is attributed to its location along the Great Miami River and the regional bike path, as well as the popular Riverfront Park, which draws thousands of visitors each year for concerts, festivals, fireworks, a splash pad and more. When you visit downtown, you can also appreciate public art, enjoy a $5 movie at the Plaza Theatre or savor a burger from the famous Hamburger Wagon.
As the first female mayor of the City of Miamisburg, I stand on the path paved by many local women who have served on the City Council or have been leaders in business, education and other sectors throughout Miamisburg. I am honored to hold this position and have genuinely realized a dream of giving back to the community that nurtured and educated me and my children, while also supporting my family-owned real estate business.
However, Miamisburg is not solely defined by its historical significance. We have demonstrated our commitment to being a proactive and forward-thinking community in various aspects, particularly in economic development. In recent years, our city has been chosen as the national headquarters for Yaskawa Corp. and numerous other businesses have opted to establish their operations in Miamisburg. Our largest employers, Kettering Health and Avery Dennison, have maintained a presence in the area for decades and continue to thrive. Many recognize Miamisburg as the long-standing home of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Mound Laboratory, which was once a defense production facility and is now a 306-acre commercial business park. I strongly encourage anyone seeking a new site for their business to consider the Mound Business Park. The city’s future plans for Mound development will focus on securing funding for a connector road that will link the site to I-75, located just three miles away in the bustling Austin Center area.
Certainly, a significant factor in attracting new businesses and industries to Miamisburg is its exceptional school district, which enjoys robust public support. Miamisburg City Schools is characterized by effective leadership, a committed faculty and high-achieving students, and it also serves parts of Miami and German Townships. Students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and have the opportunity to engage in traditionally strong athletic programs and various extracurricular activities. Additionally, prospective businesses take quality of life considerations into account when contemplating relocation and Miamisburg excels in this regard as well. We offer a wealth of amenities, including two golf courses, an aquatic center, a skate park, a dog park, a historical society and a community center.
Recent achievements of our local government also encompass a Bicentennial celebration in 2018, an investment of $69 million in enhancements to the water and sewer systems, proactive street paving, and improvements to parks. Our dedicated employees, which include a professional police force, strive diligently to deliver the services our citizens anticipate. We accomplish this in a fiscally responsible way while ensuring a sound budget balance and reserve fund.
We genuinely possess a lively, expanding community that maintains a small-town atmosphere. I hope you will come to appreciate Miamisburg as much as we all do!
Michelle Collins
Mayor
