Sinay Semere speaks at the City of Dayton Commission meeting on Wednesday, July 21. Semere is the director of Dayton s Minority Business Assistance Center that received the grant.
Dayton s Minority Business Assistance Center received the largest grant in its history.
Earlier this month, Dayton’s Minority Business Assistance Center was awarded a grant for $600,000, the largest grant in its history. The funds come from the Ohio Development Services Agency and the City of Dayton.
Sinay Semere, director of the center, said at this week’s Dayton commission meeting that the money will help local, minority-owned businesses stay competitive.
“We always talk about aiming for the moon, aiming for the stars, but a lot of times what these businesses are looking for is sustainability, Semere said. So how do we make sure that each business is able to stay afloat, provide support for their employees, and also feed their kids and their children and their household?”

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) The University of Dayton is working to repurpose the former South Park Methodist Church on South Brown Street into a medical office building.
The university’s proposal indicates that the space would be for physical and occupational rehabilitation services, which would be integrated into the existing structure which was built in 1925. At this time the proposal is subject to approval by the City of Dayton.
The updated plan also calls for reconfiguring the building’s parking lot and maintaining the old trees along the north property line. It would also expand a buffer between the parking area and residences to the west of the property.
