Although some of the workforce lives in Ohio County, a large number also commutes from outside counties. Regardless, the addition of this industry to the county has increased the workforce and the number of residents. Apartment construction is mainly of brick low-rise or garden style construction. The ages of these complexes are varied with some built in the early 1980s and the rest built in the middle to late 1990s. This later surge relates directly to the addition of the riverboat in recent years.
Affordable apartments are available in the county through the rural development program.
New construction in the county is minimal, with only one recently built complex of 12 units in Rising Sun. The links below will take you either to a different section or onto another website entirely .
