Economic Development

The Washington Township Trustees play an active role in regional economic issues, since the issues can impact their citizens. Washington Township strives to have thriving business and commercial districts that merge discreetly into quality residential areas. Most commercial property in Washington Township has been developed and some is being redeveloped. Residential construction in the township will continue to be a major part of the region’s economy. The township has over 2,000 acres designated for residential growth and is constantly looking for ways to enhance the commercial and residential areas so people feel it is a quality place to work and live. The township worked with the City of Centerville to complete a comprehensive plan that outlines the desired future of the area. The township is home to many smaller businesses that serve our community, regional area and nation. Please contact the Development Services Department at (937) 433-0796 for economic development information.
