As News Center 7 reported back in August, the onMain project is a collaboration between the University of Dayton and Premier Health, transforming a 37-acre site into a mixed-use development.
Hershovitz reports that the goal is to create a vibrant district for research, technology, workforce development, and economic growth.
Over $70 million has gone into the project.
The first building that crews will break ground on will be used for research and technology.
City leaders previously told News Center 7 that the development may take 10 to 20 years to complete.
