Housing growth in Dayton has
 typically been divided by the river and real estate developer
 Tim Forbess wants to change that. One example is the historic Longfellow School which he’s transforming into a housing community with a theatre, gymnasium, doctor’s office, dog spa and more. It’s inclusive for LGTBQ+ individuals. He’s also working on another apartment building behind Longfellow which will add even more housing to the Grafton Hill neighborhood.
 

Interview guest: Tim Forbess, CEO of G.F. Bailey, a real estate development and construction firm in Dayton.
