The City of Miamisburg initially spearheaded the Mound economic development effort, a role subsequently assumed by the Mound Community Improvement Corporation MMCIC). The MMCIC developed the Miamisburg Mound Comprehensive Reuse Plan, a long-range development plan and implementation strategy for the site’s redevelopment as an industry and scientific technology park. The reuse plan, anticipated that $55.1 million would be needed to repair, renovate, and upgrade Mound facilities and make the site marketable.

The improvements called for in the plan will:
  • improve poor site configuration by demolishing certain buildings
  • upgrade remaining buildings
  • construct new buildings
  • expand parking areas
  • construct new roadways
  • create green spaces
  • address code and maintenance items
  • construct tenant finishes
  • decentralize heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
  • integrate Mound facilities into the local utility systems
To date, nearly $20 million in improvements have been completed, including roadway, parking, street lighting and the construction of a new flex building in the Southeast campus, which, by the way, has been leased on a multi-year basis to a new tenant, RPS Technologies.

These extensive improvements have been possible because a broad base of support has been built for Mound’s redevelopment. Federal, state, county and local sources have provided more than $20 million toward the improvements needed to make Mound viable in the marketplace.

Our broad base of funding support has come from the following organizations, and the MMCIC as well as a number of our tenants have pending requests for additional funding and grants.
  • Department of Energy - $10,000,000
  • U.S. Department of Commerce - $3,394,000
  • State of Ohio - $2,280,000
  • Miamisburg Mound Community Improvement Corporation - $1,495,260
  • City of Miamisburg - $875,000
  • Montgomery County - $841,400
While the Miamisburg Mound Community Improvement Corporation is responsible for the Mound site’s redevelopment, DOE remains in charge of environmental cleanup. The federal government has committed $800-900 million to the project, and has placed it on an accelerated schedule, with cleanup and property transfer to be completed by 2009.
