To the Editor:

Dear Troy Citizens,

This needed to be addressed immediately. The following Letter to the Editor states that the downtown businesses are being held captive by the City and the DORA. This is just one more piece of misinformation. See article here: “Letter: Vote no to DORA to keep Troy safe,” Miami Valley Today.

Once again the anit-DORA group is all about misinformation and fear mongering about this issue.

Many businesses outside of the DORA district also support the DORA because they understand the benefits for the community. We have received support from the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, the Miami County Visitors Bureau and Troy Main Street. All of these organizations who work for our Troy businesses and the tourism of Troy recognize the benefits that a DORA provides.
