Construction began mid July 2021. W. Social is located adjacent to the National Aviation Heritage Historical Park in the Historic Wright Dunbar Business District. The goal of this project is to bring much needed food choices to West Dayton while supporting local entrepreneurs. W. Social will also support the growing residential neighborhood as well as the continued growth, investment, and redevelopment of the business district. “This project is perfectly aligned with the City’s asset-based development approach which focuses on development that builds community capacity and leverages private investment,” said Veronica Morris, Senior Economic Development Supervisor for the City of Dayton.
