Frontier Group of Companies, a company specializing in brownfield reuse and redevelopment, purchased the Hutchings Industrial Park site from Dayton Power & Light.
After sitting vacant for a half-decade, Frontier decided to buy the plant and associated land in December 2020. Now, the company plans to transform the property into a mixed-use commercial development centered around manufacturing/industrial, residential and recreational uses.
Solar energy also will be a big component of the site as it transforms from an industrial brownfield into a green energy facility.
