Community Development Introduces BizConnect
|
|
The Miami Township Community Development Department works closely with local businesses to help them succeed economically. With the added stress of COVID-19 requirements, it is more important than ever to have a direct line of communication between township staff and the businesspeople we serve. Signing up to Miami Township’s BizConnect is the newest way for us to keep in contact with you.
“We are asking all of our businesses to keep their contact information up to date with the township so that we can contact the right people more efficiently,” Chris Snyder, community development director, said. “By providing this detailed contact information to BizConnect and helping us keep the database updated, we can better serve our businesses by working together to find economic assistance opportunities and other resources that best fit their needs.”
BizConnect is available on our website, where you can fill out a registration form via Citizenserve, the same service used to apply and pay for zoning certificates. From our homepage, under the Departments tab > Community Development > click on BizConnect.
The Community Development Department is available to answer any questions. Our office is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. You may also call us at (937) 433-3426, email [email protected] or go online at www.miamitownship.com to get started.

Vienna Parkway construction update |
Road construction along Vienna Parkway near the intersection of SR 741 is making a lot of progress but is not finished. Even though a base layer of asphalt is in place, it is not ready for drivers to use. The concrete barriers will not be removed until the project is complete.
Weather permitting, the traffic light poles should be delivered and ready to install in September or October. Until they arrive and other finishing work is complete, the final surface course of asphalt cannot be installed.
“It is important that drivers not use the stretch of road even though it may look like the work is complete. There is still construction to be done and equipment will be moving in and out of that area, especially as the construction of the Trilogy Health Services facility is continuing,” Chris Snyder, community development director, said. “We don’t want anyone in harm’s way while crews are still working, and we don’t anyone who may try to drive through that stretch to suffer any damage to their cars.”
Please do not maneuver around the barricades to use the stretch of new road leading to SR 741. Until the traffic signals are installed, and the final layers of asphalt are put down, the new section of Vienna Parkway is closed to traffic.

National Night Out 2020 canceled |
The Miami Township Police Department is sad to report that National Night Out planned for October 6, 2020, is canceled. In a letter to participating residents, organizers, Sgt. Jay Phares and Leah O'Malley, said in part:
"The uncertainty of the pandemic does not allow us to properly plan a NNO celebration which ensures the safety of all participants. It is a difficult decision because we are currently in first place of the National Association of Town Watch National Night Out Award Winners in category 4."
This year would have marked the 27th township NNO celebration. We hope to see you in 2021 bigger and better than ever.
