The Beavercreek Planning Commission meeting held on May 7, 2025, featured a significant presentation from the managing member of Dover Real Estate Investment Group and the president and CEO of Creek Technologies. The meeting focused on the company's growth, community contributions, and a proposal for additional storage facilities.
The speaker began by outlining the affiliation between Dover Real Estate and Creek Technologies, emphasizing their status as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Established in Beavercreek in 2007, Creek Technologies has gained recognition as a leading government contracting firm, ranking as the largest veteran-owned business in the Dayton region in 2024. The company has also received multiple awards for its rapid growth and customer service excellence.
A key point of discussion was the ongoing $2 million self-funded renovation project at their facility on Lakeview Drive, which spans 16,000 square feet. This renovation aims to enhance workspace efficiency and support economic development and job creation in Beavercreek. The speaker highlighted the importance of their innovative workforce development internship program, which collaborates with local educational institutions, including Beaver Creek High School and Sinclair College, to prepare students for careers in cybersecurity and other fields.
The speaker also addressed a previous unsuccessful attempt to purchase property for expansion, which led to a reevaluation of their operational needs. As a result, they are seeking approval for two detached storage buildings at the rear of their current facility. These buildings will serve all tenants within the building, including Creek Technologies and other associated government contracting firms, without being used for external commercial purposes.
The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation of the company's commitment to workforce development and community engagement, highlighting the financial support received from JobsOhio to further enhance local job opportunities and educational pathways for students. The proposal for the storage buildings is expected to facilitate continued growth and operational efficiency for the businesses involved.
