Consider these success stories

A short 25 years ago Branson, MO was a soybean field.

They built a thriving economy out of thin air. In Dayton, we are not starting from scratch.

We already have more than a million visitors a year coming to see our aviation venues!

Gatlinburg, TN was a sleepy hole in a mountain 25 years ago.

Today it is an eight billion dollar economy - built around family adventure and fun.

Dayton can learn from Hershey, PA, whose ownership of the chocolate theme  

is not only legendary but also economically viable, perhaps in perpetuity.

On July 5, 1976, no one in Boston was heard saying, "Been-there-done-that with this war stuff, we need to move on to something else."

Boston is a town that understands perfectly how to leverage its past for economic gain. Industries come and go in Boston, but the Revolutionary Freedom Trail is always there.
