The JobsOhio Inclusion Grant Supports Distressed Communities and Underserved Populations

JobsOhio is prioritizing efforts to empower Ohio businesses with the resources they need to reach their potential. Since the start of 2020, we have worked on an inclusion strategy focused on investing in and driving job creation in distressed areas across Ohio – defined as those that have not recovered from the 2008 recession. JobsOhio also provides the capital needed to grow businesses in these communities and those owned by underserved populations.

RFP – Economic Development Strategic Plan for the City of Grandview Heights

Minutes from downtown Columbus but in a class of its own, the City of Grandview Heights (“the City”) combines the energy of urban living with the welcoming, neighborly attitude you’d expect from a city its size. At just over 1.3 square miles and home to 8,000+ residents and growing, Grandview Heights boasts tree-lined, walkable streets, trendy shops and stellar dining, all boosted by the power of its proximity to some of Central Ohio’s most desirable neighborhoods, business centers and entertainment districts.

Closely aligned with the Village of Marble Cliff, City and Village residents enjoy access to a full range of city services, Grandview Heights City Schools, a beloved community library, and parks and recreation
opportunities. A designated Tree City, USA, by the Arbor Day Foundation, Grandview Heights residents benefit from a variety of well-planned passive community parks and natural areas, as well as active indoor and outdoor recreational spaces and programs.
