Yawn returns repeatedly to the same idea: recreation, amenities, and public spaces are not side projects. They are investments in the lives of Dayton’s residents. With a strong industrial base already in place, the city has the freedom to concentrate much of its current energy on lifestyle, knowing that the community’s economic backbone is sound. LOOKING FORWARD, ANCHORED IN COMMUNITY Dayton’s story today is one of balance. The city is honoring its history without being constrained by it, leveraging geography without becoming complacent, and supporting industry while insisting on environmental responsibility. It is expanding housing without losing its sense of scale, and it is building trails, parks, and facilities that treat recreation and wellness as essential, not optional. From the Scopes Trial courthouse to the future Chattanooga State campus, from Richland Creek to the Tennessee River and up to the Cumberland Trail, Dayton is stitching together a narrative in which people, place, and opportunity reinforce one another. Over the next few years, as sports fields open, trails connect, highways are improved, and new homes fill with families, that narrative will become increasingly visible on the ground. For Shinn,Yawn, Senior Recorder and Chief Financial Officer Michelle Horton, and the rest of the city’s leadership, the guiding principle is simple: invest in the things that make life better for the people who are already here, and the rest—visitors, employers, and new residents—will follow. 218 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 07, ISSUE 01
