Newtown Sees Growth as Businesses Open on Main Street
Local development boosts commerce with new stores on Main Street. Ardis Swisher family opened a shoe shop and L A Daily took over the Newtown Department Store. Chandler's Auto Body, Williams Dot Food Store, 96 Main Street sales and service, Newtown Beauty Bar, Kelley's Houseware, and George Rabe's Newtown Dry Cleaners expand the commercial presence. Prospects for further growth and residential development appear strong due to proximity to Cincinnati and heavy traffic.
