• Thank you to the team for coming together and carefully monitoring of all department expenditures to minimize our dollars at risk


Economic Development Department

Challenges and Opportunities • Our biggest issue for new high-wage jobs is the

lack of vacant industrial space• Manufacturers want to build their products, not a

building. They don’t want to build new; would rather move in.

Gym, Sport Cards & Collectibles, and Family Farm & Home are some of our newest retail establishments


Recent Successes• Blackburn Wheels• UTSS• Blade Tek• Relocation of Agratronix to a much larger facility

from a smaller facility (one of our few vacancies now filled)

Northeast Ohio • Also one of the largest manufacturing companies

ranked by full time employees!• Automated Packaging Systems is one of NEOH’s

largest employee-owned companies (defined as those with an employee stock ownership plan)

• City of Streetsboro is one of the wealthiest suburbs of NEOH

jobs in the next few years• High wage and in-demand product
