The Commission must send a preservation and development plan to the Secretary within 2 years after the Commission’s first meeting. The plan can include the Wright‑Dunbar Historic District, the Dunbar Historic District, the Ed Sines House, the Daniel Fitch House, and the 45 sites listed in Appendix A of the National Park Service study "Study of Alternatives Dayton’s Aviation Heritage, Ohio." The Secretary has 90 days to approve the plan or return it with comments; if the Secretary does nothing in 90 days, the plan is treated as approved.

The plan must set preservation and interpretation goals and a priority timetable. It must identify properties to preserve, restore, develop, maintain, or buy; include a tentative budget for the next 5 fiscal years; propose a permanent management structure and ways to form partnerships with federal, state, local, and private partners; plan transportation links and trails (including an interurban between Wright‑Dunbar and Wright‑Patterson AFB); address vehicle use, traffic, parking, and public transit; suggest education and cultural programs; set standards for building, restoring, and using properties; and create an index of documentary evidence of historical and cultural significance, including Miami Valley sites tied to the Wright brothers, aviation history, or Paul Laurence Dunbar. While making the plan, the Commission must consult relevant federal, state, and local officials, property owners, and affected community and professional groups.
