Meeting Notes of Appointments:
Ed Bohn, EMA – Paulding County’s EOP will be reviewed today. Mr. Bohn reported 9 of the 18 sections are complete. He then discussed the semi accident on 637 and Flat Rock Creek. He noted Paulding County coordinated with Defiance County for large equipment use. Mr. Bohn reported all the weather sirens are installed and will be tested weekly on Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m.
Mike Jay and Brian Bilger, Regional Growth Partnership (RGP) Jobs Ohio; Jerry Zielke, PC Economic Development – Mr. Jay announced that presidents of several area colleges/universities are in the process of forming a consortium to discuss and plan educational programs that would fill local companies’ needs for skilled workers. Mr. Bilger noted economic development is more probable if there is infrastructure (water, sewage, roadways, etc.) in place. Perspective manufacturing sites must be ‘shovel ready’ and have adequate acreage for the size building desired. Another factor when considering a manufacturing location is the need for the product in the immediate area and the options of transporting that product. Mr. Bilger reported 17 counties in northwest Ohio have seen $2.2 billion in growth. The Commissioners what they could do to promote economic development in Paulding County. Both Mr. Jay and Mr. Bilger agreed the support and good working relationship the Commissioners have with the Paulding County Economic Development director is a big plus. Mr. Jay strongly suggested continuing to apply for and search out grants for infrastructure. Mr. Zielke has been very pro-active in meeting with perspective businesses and promoting Paulding County for a location. He also noted there has been significant growth in established businesses, naming several companies that have expanded, creating additional opportunities for employment. Mr. Zielke announced Friday, October 2, is Manufacturing Day at Northwest State. He also noted that the NORAD meeting on October 8th will focus on Issues 2 & 3 (legalizing marijuana in Ohio). If passed, Ohio will be the 5th state to legalize marijuana. Mr. Jay shared statistics from Colorado (already a marijuana-legal state), noting the effects marijuana use has on the workforce (absenteeism, increase in accidents on the job, etc.)
