This week, the state legislature authorized a 15-year extension of JobsOhio’s franchise over the state’s liquor enterprise, recognizing its critical role in fostering manufacturing growth.

The OMA advocated to support the move, noting that JobsOhio has been instrumental in attracting major manufacturing investments, providing workforce training, and supporting site development. This extension ensures JobsOhio’s long-term financial stability, allowing Ohio to remain competitive in securing high-impact industrial projects and strengthening its position as a manufacturing leader. 2/12/2025
