While OED offers a general program to promote business retention efforts in the County, some communities request OED to provide a more intense relationship with their business community. OED has contracted with certain communities to provide this hands-on approach. OED can also offer assistance with business attraction efforts. In addition to services provided through contracts, OED offers some programs as a service to the community. In an effort to educate community officials on economic development trends, OED provides several workshops through out the year.
Speakers talk about topics that are important to Hamilton County s communities.
Business Presentations OED seeks out opportunities to present information to business groups and others that might benefit from our programs. Past presentations have been given to business associations, local chambers, and Kiwanis clubs. Eligibility for this program is based on certain criteria including financial difficulties, a destabilized industrial or retail sector, and the lack of a formal economic development professional on staff. OED is currently working with Golf Manor to help revitalize its industrial and retail base. OED does not try to act as an agent or broker for any of these sites.
