One of the Mound’s most successful working relationships has been with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Since the beginning, Mound Business Park (MBP) President Eric Cluxton has worked jointly with Dave Geiser, Director and Acting Deputy Director of the Office of Legacy Management for the DOE.
From May 11-13, Cluxton was joined by several regional officials for a fly-in to Washington D.C., including: Miamisburg Mayor Dick Church; Miamisburg City Manager Keith Johnson; MBP Board Member Dr. h. c. Niels M. Winther; Miami Township Trustee Doug Barry; Miami Township Administrator Greg Rogers; MVRPC President Brian Martin, and MCTID President Steve Stanley. In addition to meeting with Geiser about progress at the Mound, Cluxton and team also met with our federal and state elected officials to discuss the Mound Connector.
Upon returning, both the MBP and the City of Miamisburg were honored to host Geiser and his DOE team at the Mound on May 18th. Mayor Dick Church was in attendance and spoke about the Mound’s success. Geiser emphasized the DOE’s commitment to the Mound, highlighting the property as one of only four sites nationwide that is being reused for economic development. He also thanked the MBP and the city for their hard work. Each team in attendance is looking forward to a follow-up meeting in mid-November.
