Springfield sites among 1st to get designation that may add jobs
March 20, 2017
Two Springfield business parks are among the first in Ohio to be included in a new state program that local leaders said could drive Clark County to the top of the list for potential industrial developers.
The Prime Ohio II and Nextedge business parks have been approved as part of the new Site Ohio program, said Horton Hobbs, vice president for economic development at the Chamber of Greater Springfield.
That process — developed by the state’s economic development agency JobsOhio — designates sites that have infrastructure and utilities in place, spokesman Matt Englehart said.
