Integrity Propane LLC, in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), and the Coshocton County Port Authority, today announced an investment of $129,000 to expand operations in Coshocton County.

Established in 2022, Integrity Propane provides safe, reliable, affordable propane services to commercial, manufacturing, and residential customers in Coshocton County and the surrounding area.

“This grant is a vital investment in the future of our operations,” said Bethany Green, Co-Owner of Integrity Propane. “As our business continues to grow, these funds will allow us to enhance operational efficiency, and better serve our customers and community in the future. We would like to thank Marisa Vetula and the JobsOhio team for their support throughout this process.”

The Greens are investing in a new facility. This will allow for expansion to meet higher demand from commercial clients, increased capacity to attract larger business contracts, and additional space for storage of supplies and installation equipment.

“Integrity Propane’s expansion is a great example of local entrepreneurship driving economic growth in our region,” said Tiffany Swigert, Executive Director of the Coshocton County Port Authority. “This investment not only supports the creation of additional infrastructure and jobs, but also strengthens the foundation for future industrial and commercial development. We’re proud to support Integrity Propane’s continued success in Coshocton County.”

This investment is supported by a $50,000 JobsOhio Small Business Grant. The JobsOhio Small Business Grant provides grants to support the growth of small businesses that face unique challenges because they are either located in a qualifying zip code or are owned by an eligible population, which includes minorities, women, veterans, and people with disabilities. To qualify the company must have an eligible project and meet business size and industry requirements.

“Integrity Propane is a rapidly growing company and we are glad to have partnered with the company on its expansion,” said Matt Abbott, President and CEO of OhioSE. “The JobsOhio Small Business Grant was a tremendous tool to leverage additional investment that will fuel new efficiencies and growth for the company.”
