Business Development The office's Business Development Managers walk companies and communities through all phases of the application and approval process for incentives offered to induce a project to move forward in Ohio. The Business Development Managers review loans, tax credits and exemptions, training, and infrastructure programs to make recommendations on what programs would be appropriate for each individual project. We also work closely with our communities in order to retain and attract businesses in their area. The office also includes specialists in advanced energy and environmental technologies, aerospace and aviation, agriculture and food processing, bioscience and bioproducts, corporate and professional services, distribution and logistics, instruments, controls, and electronics, motor vehicles and parts manufacturing, and polymers and advanced materials.
