Additionally, the city plans to remove at least 50 rubble piles from fires or other incidents.
Over 100 structures will be torn down using funds from the Ohio Department of Development.
City leaders say that funding from the Recovery Plan is allowing work to speed up in neighborhoods where work has been needed for a long time.
'We are really utilizing the Recovery Plan funding, Department of Development funding, it's one of the largest surpluses we've had where we can tackle way more than what we have been able to accomplish,' said Steven Gondol, director of Dayton's Department of Planning.
Over 110 of the contracted demolitions are in the Southern Dayton View neighborhood, with over 50 in the Santa Clara neighborhood.
In 2024, the city demolished just over 200 blighted structures.

WPAFB working to combat forever chemicals, water contamination
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officials gave 2 NEWS an inside look at efforts to combat forever chemicals in their water. Wright-Patt is working to reduce water contamination on base through several water treatment sites. This comes after the EPA updated the maximum PFAS containment levels in 2024. Trump administration moves to roll back Biden-era PFAs water protections PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are synthetic compounds with properties to repel oil, water and other liquids. This water contamination comes from 'film forming foam' used in firefighting, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural runoff and more. The Air Force Base plans to have five treatment sites in total — currently, two are active. WPAFB has treated more than 31 million gallons of water so far. The deadline to meet the new EPA standards is 2029. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
