The National Excess Manufacturing Capacity Catalog (NEXCAP) is the result of collaboration between the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Labor, Employment, and the Economy (IRLEE), and the U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA). This profile was produced by NEXCAP and a comprehensive update was completed in December 2012. Since community, site, and facility information changes periodically, the profile may contain outdated material.

Montgomery County has a population of 535,153, according to the 2010 census, which is a decrease of 4.3% from 2000. It has been losing population since the 1980s, while the state’s population has increased slightly during the same period. the city of Dayton is the main contributor to most of the population loss, making it among the united States cities with the highest rate of population
decline. the loss of industry employment, especially due to the relocation and closure of Mead Paper and General Motors local operations, had a big impact on the population change. however, the region has seen a recent boom because of growth in several industries, such as education and healthcare, manufacturing, and computer service-related industries.
