JobsOhio & Regional Growth Partnership

JobsOhio is the state's private, nonprofit economic development corporation, leading Ohio’s efforts in job creation, business attraction, and expansion. To deliver this support locally, JobsOhio works through a network of seven regional partners.

For Hardin County, that partner is the Regional Growth Partnership (RGP), the lead economic development organization serving Northwest Ohio.

The RGP acts as the direct link for Hardin County businesses to access JobsOhio's substantial resources, including:

• Financial Incentives: Facilitating customized packages of loans, grants (like the JobsOhio Small Business Grant), and tax incentives.
• Expansion Support: Providing expert assistance in site selection, project development, and workforce strategy for companies planning significant growth or investment.
