Our Vision, A Thriving
Twin Towers Neighborhood
At EDNDC, we envision a vibrant Twin Towers neighborhood known for its:
Unique character
Livability and sustainability
Strong social connections
Cultural and economic diversity
We see a community where families of all income levels can raise children in a safe, nurturing environment, with access to high-quality schools, living-wage jobs, healthy lifestyles, and safe, affordable, and sustainable housing.
EDNDC Mission
EDNDC exists to expand access to safe, decent, and affordable housing while improving neighborhood amenities in Twin Towers. Our work is focused on creating lasting social, economic, and environmental value for families.
East Dayton Neighborhood Development Corporation
Community Planning Initiative
EDNDC is bringing together residents, businesses, community partners, and stakeholders to develop a community-driven plan for neighborhood revitalization. Through a series of workgroups, participants identified priorities that will guide investments and create strategies to improve housing, public spaces, economic opportunity, safety, and quality of life.
Twin Towers Healthy Homes
EDNDC is launching the Twin Towers Healthy Homes Initiative, in partnership with CountyCorp and the Montgomery County Land Bank, bringing new affordable homeownership opportunities to the neighborhood. Supported by Welcome Home and CDBG funding, and managed by CountyCorp, this initiative is helping build a healthier, stronger future for East Dayton families. Groundbreaking on the first new Unibilt homes is expected in Spring 2027.
Ruskin Commons
A long-vacant site on Xenia Avenue in front of Ruskin Elementary School was transformed into a vibrant new green space for students, families, and neighbors. Ruskin Commons features open lawns, a gathering space, and a community-crafted mosaic by the Mosaic Institute. Funded by ARPA, CDBG, and Citywide Development, the park opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting celebration on November 12, 2025. [Read more →]

With support from the University of Dayton’s Hanley Sustainability Institute and ETHOS Center, the project blends history, innovation, and hands-on student learning to build a stronger future.
