ABOUT THE DAYTON PORT

The Dayton/Montgomery County Port Authority was created by the City of Dayton and Montgomery County to assist in the economic development process. Ohio law allows the Dayton Port, and other port authorities, to construct facilities, issue bonds, make loans, and sell or buy real and personal property. Port Authorities can loan or secure funds, receive grants, and buy assets all in order to facilitate incentive driven financing transactions, and related development.

As a government entity, The Dayton Port exists to facilitate economic and community development, capital investment, and job creation and retention in southwest Ohio.

We offer competative rates and payment terms for both large corporate transactions and for small businesses seeking financing of $1+ million or more to supportt growth pf their business. Funding sources are often a combination of loans and grants with much of the financing coming from the issuance of bonds. 

The Dayton Port can provide sales tax savings incentives for impactful new construction on redevelopment projects through its capital lease structure.

As an independent lender, the Dayton Port employs investment bankers to structure the transaction and then place the debt in the capital markets.
