today's board meeting revealed that 1,470 new jobs have been added to the economy, $175.6 million in new investment & a 7.5% wage increase since 2016. Hoping for even more great news to share in 2020!
$740K will go to the county’s workforce center. The center will first focus on training in manufacturing and skilled trades. Ohio University Lancaster and Hocking College will provide the training.
