PHOTOS: One last look inside Hara Arena before it is demolished
1 / 95
Here's a final look at Hara Arena in Trotwood from yesterday evening, Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020. Demolition of the Hara complex buildings will start today, Sept. 25. Closed in 2016, the property experienced extensive damage from the 2019 Dayton area Memorial Day tornadoes. Michael Heitz, a Lexington, Ky. based developer, purchased Hara and its land in 2018. Though plans have yet to be announced for how the site will be redeveloped, the property was rezoned in March from recreational uses to light industrial. TOM GILLIAM/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
