Leaf Collection Season

New equipment will make the job easier

Leaf collection begins November 2, 2026, across Miami Township and this year, Public Works has two new leaf collection machines to use.

“With support from State Representative Tom Young, we applied and received grant funding for two new leaf collection machines,” Public Works Director John Schweickart said. “They will help us collect leaves quicker and more efficiently.”

$250,000 was awarded to Miami Township in late 2024 by the Ohio Office of Budget Management. An additional $32,500 came from the township General Fund to finalize the purchase. READ MORE

Be sure to rake your leaves to the curb without any limbs mixed in, and check on our progress anytime by checking our daily updates online:

Miami Crossing District Framework adopted

A public partnership between the Miami Crossing Joint Economic Development District (JEDD), owners of the Dayton Mall, Miami Township staff and residents’ public feedback, has resulted in a newly approved Miami Crossing District Framework. Adopted by the Board of Trustees on October 20, 2026, this new document is an overhaul of the 2015 Dayton Mall Area Plan. It resets the vision of what the mall area can become. It is already guiding our development investment to create a walkable, livable space with amenities the community desires. READ the plan.

Zoning Resolution overhauled

The Community Development Department has overhauled the Zoning Resolution and map. The Board of Trustees voted to approve the plan on October 6, 2026. It is easier to use and understand; and aligns zoning districts and regulations with the goals of the Miami Township Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Ohio Department of Development awarded Miami Township with a $50,000 Housing Technical Assistance Program grant for the project. The new resolution officially takes effect November 6.
