Dr. Brown Sucess Story

Dr. Morris Brown recently opened a second Dayton medical practice with the help of a Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan administered by CityWide Development Corporation.

Dr. Brown and Associates, located at 301 W. First Street in downtown Dayton, focuses on preventative medicine and specialty treatment of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This new location is just a block away from the practice Dr. Brown established in 1985 at 128 West First Street. The First Street location will continue to operate as Dayton Primary Urgent Care.

“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.”

“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.”

In addition to the CityWide-administered SBA loan and his own equity, financing from National City Bank helped fund Dr. Brown’s purchase and renovation of 301 W. First Street.
