Mayor's Message

According to Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, communication is defined as “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system.” However, communication is more than simply exchanging information, it invites participation to build relationships and foster trust. As a community leader, I have a duty to be transparent and effectively communicate with clarity, empathy, and consistency. Currently, information is communicated to residents through our website, quarterly newsletters, flyers, Hyper-Reach, during public meetings, and various other ways. More recently, the City invested in a digital sign located in front of the Government Center at 3035 Olive Road. This sign is yet another channel for communication designed to bring you real-time information using attention-grabbing dynamic visuals. We also proactively share information with you is through the city’s Welcome booklet. This handout contains information such as primary residential ordinances, community services and programs, an outside agency contact list, a Trotwood Ward Map, and your Council representatives. We hope these details will help ease a new resident’s transition into our community, while keeping relevant information together for those already established in Trotwood.

Beyond providing these essential resources to keep you connected to City services, we also want to share some recent milestones that are contributing to Trotwood’s economic momentum. In October 2025, we welcomed Westrafo America, a privately held Italian manufacturer of power transformers and energy solutions. This is the company’s first operational facility in the United States. We also saw the opening of a premier restaurant, Mar’Tae Kitchen and Cocktails, located at 5212 Salem Avenue, where customers can expect an elevated dining experience as everything is made from scratch.

Our dedication to forward progress continues to drive new economic development opportunities in 2026. Gated Properties Global is currently developing two industrial buildings in the City’s Industrial Park. One building will be a 100,000-square-foot facility designed to accommodate advanced manufacturing, logistics, or distribution. The second structure will be a 58,000-square-foot building, and will house smaller-scale assembly or distribution.

As we strengthen our industrial core and create new jobs, we are equally focused on ensuring our residential landscape grows to meet the needs of our expanding community. In the Twin Creek neighborhood, construction is underway on 18 new single-family homes priced between $280,000 to $300,000. The City is also revitalizing areas of the Townview neighborhood by removing blighted and abandoned properties and creating new infill housing.

Our focus on sustainable industrial and residential growth has established a strong foundation for our City and built a community we are proud to call home. I encourage you to share our optimistic economic outlook with your family and friends, and invite everyone to experience our community’s vibrant spirit.

As I’ve said before, I am often asked if I like being Mayor, but the real question is do I like being the Mayor of Trotwood. My answer remains the same – ABSOLUTELY! I am proud to be your Mayor and I remain committed to our vision for the future.
