Trotwood said it will also participate in the countywide initiative to remove blighted homes.

“Removing these long-abandoned homes will reduce hazards, stabilize neighborhoods, and make way for future development,” a media release states.

Lastly, the city said it plans to give “much-needed” attention to its water infrastructure with water line upgrades on Eppington and Macmillan streets.

The upgrades will replace waterlines that are over 50 years old.

Trotwood did not give an exact timeline for these projects and said they will “unfold throughout the year.”
