CITYWIDE HOSTS RIBBON CUTTING FOR NEW OFFICE OF DR. MORRIS BROWN
West First Street Location One Block from Original Location
Dayton, Ohio, November 1, 2005 - A ribbon cutting will be held at 10 am today to celebrate the official opening of Dr. Brown and Associates at 301 W. First Street in downtown Dayton. The practice will focus on preventative medicine and specialty treatment of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
The new location represents an expansion for Dr. Morris Brown, whose original practice at 128 West First Street has been operating since 1985. The original location will continue to operate as Dayton Primary Urgent Care. The two offices are just a block apart.
“Considering our growth over the past 20 years, we are long overdue for this expansion,” said Dr. Brown. “My goal is still the same as it was in 1985 --- to provide quality and compassionate healthcare that is easily accessible to Dayton’s urban community. I believe downtown Dayton is the ideal location for accomplishing this goal.”
Dr. Brown purchased and renovated the property at 301 W. First Street with the help of a Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan administered by CityWide Development Corporation, financing from National City Bank, and his own equity. “The services Dr. Brown is providing are especially valuable due to his downtown location,” said Clarence Taylor, loan officer for CityWide Development. “And the fact that he is retaining and creating jobs in Dayton is very important to our local economy. We are happy to be able to assist Dr. Brown with financing for this relocation and expansion project.”
