Meyer has “spent her career developing solutions” to the city’s needs, according to Dayton Mayor Jeffrey Mims.
“We are excited that she has chosen to join the DDP and help accelerate the positive momentum downtown Dayton has experienced over the last decade,” Mims wrote.
Since 2019, Meyer has served as the policy and program manager for UniCity, altafiber’s smart city division based out of Dayton. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Heritage Ohio, YWCA Dayton, Boys and Girls Club of Dayton, and NKY Pride.
