We are building on our historic legacy, unique neighborhoods, and economic potential.
Our goal is to become a regional destination for those seeking eclectic experiences, diversity and community, budding gardens, walking tours, bike paths, and friendship.
A number of area activities have been held on the front lawn of Grace Church.
Our Approach to Community Building
- Promote engagement and collaboration among ALL stakeholders: residents, neighborhoods, churches, businesses, organizations.
- Promote & support economic growth to fulfill the needs of the local and regional community.
- Improve both perceptions and realities regarding safety and security.
- Encourage development of area beautification.
- Encourage and promote events that provide entertainment and celebrate the Corridor’s assets.

It's happening on the Peace Corridor!
Together with our many partners and friends, we are working to revitalize the Peace Corridor in support of community and business desires, and to establish a quality of life that is unmatched elsewhere in the City of Dayton.
We will leverage principles of the “Welcome Dayton” initiative, to create an area that is deliberately friendly to diverse cultures and peoples. We will also reinforce the rich history of diversity -- past and present -- along the Corridor.
Another goal is to serve as an “Information Exchange” for the neighborhoods, businesses and institutions around the Peace Corridor, to facilitate interaction and communication among the entities.
Together, we plan to establish the reputation of the Peace Corridor as a destination for recreation, entertainment and commerce, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and as a great place to live.
The Salem Avenue Peace Corridor, LLC, (SAPC) works to promote and unify the communities, residents, businesses, and institutions along the Corridor.
We seek to create an environment that truly reflects our Shared Values of Safety, Prosperity and Quality of Life.
