The JobsOhio Revitalization Program

Under the JobsOhio Revitalization Program Loan and Grant Fund, JobsOhio offers revitalization grants to fund Phase II environmental assessments of sites where development and job creation are likely. The assessments identify environmental risks and outline steps to mitigate them. In addition, a project may support the need for flexible, low interest loans as a way to provide additional funding support.

Once the site has preliminary cost estimates for the redevelopment project, which may or may not include remediation, JobsOhio will work with an organization to determine what level of assistance might be available.

A brownfield site can be redeveloped for uses ranging from office and industrial, to mixed-use, depending on the location and characteristics of the property and market factors.

Redeveloped brownfield sites offer companies and local areas certain benefits over greenfield development, such as:

• Access to existing workforce in the area with known traffic patterns.
• Reusing existing utilities.
• Reducing blight.
• Improving the local environment by cleaning up contamination.
