 "Ohio Means Business” and the Ohio Department of Development work to provide assistance to firms of all sizes and backgrounds in an effort to cultivate a successful business climate. The Department offers a variety of business development resources and incentives all with a common goal to generate new investment in the state and create and retain jobs for Ohio's outstanding workforce.

The Office of Tax Incentives (OTI) is responsible for managing the state's business development tax incentive programs and for overseeing the administrative performance of various local property tax incentive programs. Office staff also provides support to the members of the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, who are charged with the duty of reviewing and approving tax credits for job creation and retention projects throughout the state.

The Ohio Enterprise Zone program is an economic development tool administered by municipal and county governments that provides real and personal property tax exemptions to businesses making investments in Ohio.

Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) of Ohio Department of Development, which operates within the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Division, is considered the gateway for small business owners and entrepreneurs to access supportive services.
 

             

Key to Business Success is a Skilled Workforce

Let Medina County Workforce Development assist your business in the cost related to the training of your future employees with an "On the Job Training Program" for eligible participants.  
 
As available fully qualified recruits become more difficult to find, numerous returning veterans and those still on unemployment have skill sets which closely match, but do not fully match your employment needs.  Let us help you in defining a training program for these job applicants, and aid in offsetting some of those costs attributed to that training.

If interested, contact MEDINAWORKS at (330) 723-9675 and ask about our "On the Job Training (OJT) Programs.
