Sites

JobsOhio actively prepares for future business attraction opportunities with its numerous site and building initiatives. Through SiteOhio, we invest in communities throughout the state to identify sites that are ready for development and provide site selection education and preparation to our local economic development partners. With the ever-evolving needs for sites and buildings that are ready to attract new jobs and investment, we leverage programs like the JobsOhio Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP) to build a robust and diverse inventory of sites and speculative buildings to meet the future needs of companies of all sizes.

Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP)

The primary goal of the Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP) is to fill gaps in Ohio’s real estate inventory with real estate targeting near-term sector wins to ensure our state is more competitive for reactive site selection projects. The OSIP offers grants and low-interest loans to support speculative site and building development projects with no identified end user.
