Added support for existing local employers

South Central Ohio’s JEDISO Region has achieved economic strength for decades thanks to a strong foundation of companies that call our area home. From wood-consuming operations, to distribution facilities, to steelmakers, truck manufacturers, and more, they have provided a reliable source of employment for local workers and generous investments in our communities, making invaluable contributions to our area’s quality of life.

The JEDISO team of economic developers is available to help existing employers strengthen and grow their businesses. For example, we can work with you to ensure you’re taking full advantage of state and local incentive programs, funding for workforce training programs, assistance with expansion of your operations, and help with identifying sites and developing new facilities.

If your company would like to discuss your specific needs, or if you have questions, we encourage you to visit your county’s economic development website.
