Its role Funder
JobsOhio is Ohio's private nonprofit economic development corporation, formed in 2011 under state authorization to promote economic development, job creation, retention, training, and business recruitment. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, it operates statewide as an independent entity with a private board of directors, working alongside state and local governments while maintaining confidentiality and flexibility for client companies.
The organization targets ten competitive industry sectors, including Energy & Chemicals, Advanced Aerospace & Defense, Advanced Manufacturing, Automotive, Financial Services, Food & Agribusinesses, Life Sciences, Logistics & Distribution, and Technology. Its core activities encompass providing customized incentives such as grants and low-interest loans, site selection and preparation support, workforce and talent development programs, and connections to resources that help businesses expand or locate in Ohio.
JobsOhio is wholly funded by profits from the JobsOhio Beverage System (JOBS), a liquor enterprise it purchased and manages since 2013, with no taxpayer funds involved. This structure enables a long-term investment horizon for economic initiatives. It maintains a network of regional partners and has supported numerous attraction, retention, and expansion projects across the state, including significant site-preparation grants for major industrial developments in eastern Ohio.
As Ohio's dedicated economic development corporation, JobsOhio positions the state competitively for private-sector investment while focusing on sustainable job growth and capital attraction in key industries.
