Invest in OhioSE
Help us unlock the next level of Southeast Ohio’s potential.
Your contribution drives economic prosperity in Southeast Ohio through business retention, expansion, site selection, and community development.
Your Pledge at Work
We know that you want your investment to count. That’s why we’re proud to share the success we’ve seen since 2020.
In just 5 years, we have generated 74x more investment than our initial projections and surpassed our goals in every category.
OhioSE's 5-Year Economic Impact
Over the past five years, OhioSE set out with clear projections for how many projects it could support, how many jobs it could safeguard and create, and how much private investment it could catalyze across the region. The chart on the right shows just how far those results have surpassed the original goals, with expansions, retained jobs, new jobs, and total investment all coming in dramatically higher than expected.
Projected vs. Actual
| Expansions | 41 | 244 |
|---|---|---|
| Jobs Retained | 11,500 | 31,000 |
| New Jobs | 825 | 5,700 |
| Investment | $54M | $4B |
Pushing the Boundaries of What’s Possible
Together, we can expand the region’s investment capabilities beyond our current contract limitations and build upon five years of incredible progress.
Your investment will provide much-needed, flexible funding to support development outside of our current scope. Investments will be directly funneled into projects that revitalize the region.
Power the next phase of success through:
- Large industrial site development
- Regional workforce solutions
- Planning and engineering services
- Expanded targeted regional marketing
- Housing studies
- Expanded special purpose grants
Why Invest?
Our investors understand that without the right sites, buildings, and incentives in the region, opportunities will go elsewhere. An investment in OhioSE is an investment in our region’s infrastructure, job market, and economic stability.
