Consultant: Making Middletown neighborhood historic could be ‘powerful tool’ for new life
23 Jan 2020

Dan Barton of Brainwave Historic Preservation Consulting said the Oakland area has “fallen on hard times,” but he believes with the right plan and execution, its success can mirror Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati and the Oregon District in Dayton. He said the redevelopment of the area could spur interest from younger residents and financial institutions willing to invest.
