Dozens gathered on the north side of the Great Miami River for the Oct. 1, 2015 ribbon-cutting for the newly painted River Run Floodwall, including local elected officials like Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, art professionals from around the region and downtown Dayton supporters. Designed by local artist and graphic designer Amy Deal, the nearly 1,000-foot floodwall is part of the signature project, RiverScape River Run, of the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan.
