On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, the City of Beavercreek marked a significant milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of upgrades to its 9-acre site and the unveiling of a new state-of-the-art salt storage facility. The site, which is utilized by the city’s Public Service Division, is located at 2260 Dayton-Xenia Road, next to Rotary Park. Local officials, city employees, and project leaders attended the ceremony to celebrate the completion of the project.
The upgrades include an 8,900-square-foot tension fabric salt storage facility that can hold up to 7,000 tons of salt, which will improve the city’s ability to manage snow and ice removal during the winter months. The new facility replaces the previous 6,000-square-foot wooden barn, built in 1998, which had become a source of inefficiencies due to its limited size and outdated design.
"This new facility ensures that the City of Beavercreek is better prepared for winter weather, with the capacity to store more essential materials, streamlining our operations and providing better service to the community,” said Mayor Don Adams.
In addition to the salt facility, the $2.4 million project, designed by Garmann Miller and completed by Brumbaugh Construction, features enhanced lighting, upgraded pavement, and a reconfigured site layout. These improvements create a safer and more efficient work environment for the city's public service division, allowing them to store larger quantities of brine, gravel, dirt, and mulch, leading to better pricing and increased protection for the city’s equipment.
"This project was years in the making, and we are thrilled with the outcome,” said City Manager Pete Landrum. “It not only addresses current operational needs but also ensures we are well-prepared for future demands."
The completion of this project highlights the City of Beavercreek’s ongoing commitment to improving services. For more information about the city's public service division, click here.
