JobsOhio Helps Your County to Market Itself

JobsOhio administers the “Ohio One / Ohio In Site” location data base… one of the principal online property databases used by site selectors and consultants to find available sites in Ohio. In early 2013, JobsOhio completed a major overhaul to the system’s management. •  All local sites are now entered by a local economic

development organization into Ohio One through the regional partners to insure complete information and maximize competitiveness.

•  And, regional partners can track status of the request for information on JobsOhio’s SalesForce system…answering the local “what’s happening?” question.

JobsOhio regional partner Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth collaborated with local EDOs to win a $1.7M federal grant to: •  Inventory available regional facilities and land to be

added into the OhioInsite database. •  Train incumbent workers in targeted industries: metal

fabrication, polymers and chemicals
