Dayton, OH – The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is excited to announce the Dayton Area Board of Realtors (DABR) has rejoined MVRPC, effective immediately, after a seven-year hiatus.

“The Miami Valley is one of the most affordable areas in the state and country to live and our housing market has made a strong comeback since the 2008 recession. Having the DABR at the table, as the Region continues to flourish, is a great addition to MVRPC,” stated Brian O. Martin, AICP, Executive Director of the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.  “MVRPC’s monthly Executive Committee and Board of Directors meetings are held at DABR’s headquarters and they’ve been a great partner with us as MVRPC continues shaping our region’s future together,” Martin continued.
