Such improvements will have a long-term economic impact in Greene County. Other programs have been effectively utilized as well in Greene County. The Community Development Block Grant funds have been used to better the environment of several communities in the extension of infrastructure as well as the implementation of downtown revitalization programs. Over the past four years, CPIF funds have in part encouraged new business investment in the communities of Beavercreek, Fairborn, Jamestown, Xenia, and Yellow Springs as well as Bath Township and Silvercreek Township. Additional investment from the private sector is anticipated in the future as a result of the infrastructure projects this fund helped put into place.
Publicity continues to improve in Greene County.
Not only has the community introduced a new media kit for the year 2001 with new literature, but also it has greatly enhanced its homepage on the county's website. Newsworthy items are being placed on a regular basis to allow readers to know that Greene County is a vibrant community growing in a controlled fashion. In addition, the Department of Development has worked with several local firms to have articles placed in local, regional, state, and national periodicals. Finally, it is good to point out the Greene County achievers. For the past four years, the county has cataloged a variety of individuals, corporations, and organizations including business, government, and education that have distinguished themselves by excelling in specific areas.
