Gem City Records in Oregon District closing. DAYTON — Gem City Records, 318 E. Fifth St., will close Jan. 29.

The store has six employees, Springhart said, and the building is being sold. The business is owned by Value Music Concepts Inc. of Marietta, Ga. News of the closing was greeted with sadness by bargain hunters combing the aisles until closing time around 8 p.m. Tuesday. Back home in Centerville during a break at the University of Cincinnati, Matt Walter, 21, said he was disappointed. “It’s a very good music store,” he said while hunting soul, rock and folk selections in the vinyl record department.
“I wasn’t expecting this at all.” Phil Clark, 21, also of Centerville and a University of Dayton student, said the closure “is kind of sad.

DAYTON – The University of Dayton has purchased NCR Corp.’s former world headquarters property for $18 million. Daniel J. Curran, university president, announced the purchase today, Monday, Dec. 21. The 115-acre parcel includes the NCR building at 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. and Old River Park. UD will move its University of Dayton Research Institute to the 455,127-square-foot, five-story building on the Great Miami River. The facility also will house a proposed alumni center, graduate classes and academic conference space.
“The present impact is tremendous; the future impact may be even greater,” Curran said. In a campus press conference to announce the acquisition Monday morning, Eric Fingerhut, chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents, said the move would bolster a research institute increasingly valued nationally and internationally. “This is not a well-kept secret,” Fingerhut said.
State Sen. “The University of Dayton stepped up to lead,” Husted said. NCR building will become UD research center. Six months ago, some in Dayton wondered how the loss of NCR Corp.’s headquarters would alter the community’s identity. After the University of Dayton announced Monday, Dec. 21, that it has purchased the former NCR headquarters building, many are hailing the $18 million acquisition that will let UD give the building a scientific and technological focus that it hasn’t seen in perhaps decades. Michael McCabe, UD’s vice president for research and executive director of the University of Dayton’s Research Institute, said UDRI needs space and resources that the 455,000-square-foot building will offer. UDRI went from $38 million to more than $96 million in research last year alone, McCabe said. Until now, the building has housed mostly administrative functions tied to NCR. McCabe and John Leland, UDRI director, said that will change under UD’s stewardship in a dramatic way.
In fact, McCabe said, the university will have to renovate. “That building is office space,” he said. State Sen. University of Dayton Research Institute gets $49.5M contract. DAYTON — The University of Dayton Research Institute has landed its biggest contract in its 53-year history, securing $49.5 million from the U.S. Air Force for work on advanced jet fuels and combustion technology. The six-year cooperative grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Propulsion Directorate was effective Friday, Dec. 11. The award helps cement UDRI’s reputation as one of the top centers in the world for jet fuel research, said Dilip Ballel, who heads UDRI’s energy and environmental engineering division. A UDRI spokeswoman said the research could help wean the United States from its dependence on foreign-based oil. “This is a program of national importance to us because of the energy security of the nation,” Ballel said. “This region is leading the way.”
UDRI has hired about 20 people in the last two years “to demonstrate we have the manpower to do the work,” Ballel said. About the University of Dayton Research Institute. A year later, developers eye former GM plant. On the one-year anniversary of the final production day at General Motors Corp.’s last-operating local plant, Moraine leaders were confident that a developer will take over the site, perhaps early in 2010. “It’s one of our primary focuses,” Dave Hicks, Moraine city manager, said Wednesday, Dec. 23. Dec. 23, 2008 was the final working day at the SUV assembly plant between Kettering Boulevard and Springboro Pike. The closure immediately put about 1,000 employees out of work, but as recently as 2006, the plant employed about 4,000 people, assembling mid-size SUVs such as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer.
Hicks expects the buildings and surrounding land to be sold, maybe as early as the first half of next year. Two possible developers have expressed interest. One developer is Downey, Calif. Stuart Lichter, IRG principal, toured the former GM plant at Hicks’ invitation last June. “We don’t believe manufacturing is at an end in the United States,” Lichter told the Dayton Daily News in July.

DP&L to build 7-acre solar power array in Washington Twp. WASHINGTON TWP., Montgomery County — Construction on what will be the largest solar power array in Southwest Ohio has begun in Washington Twp., the Dayton Power & Light Co. said Wednesday Dec. 16 The 1.1 megawatt array on seven acres near the utility’s Yankee substation will be on line in March 2010. The facility will have 9,000 solar panels and will generate enough electricity to power nearly 150 homes. The project is expected to cost approximately $5 million, the utility said. Although the test project is relatively small compared to other such facilities nationwide, it could be the first of many here.
The array is on a 50-acre property the utility owns on Yankee Street, across from Yankee Trace Golf Course. “This is one of our efforts to diversify our generation portfolio and support our compliance with Ohio’s renewable energy requirements,” said Paul Barbas, DP&L president and CEO. By 2025, DP&L has a state-mandated target to generate 0.5 percent of its electricity from solar. Crain's Morning Roundup Link.
