More on some of their partners in the paper mil response team:

GCRCD is “Greater Chillicothe & Ross County, Ohio Development,” the city, county, and regional economic development agency.

The Montrose Group is an advisor / consultant to GCRCD, and has joined in on previous paper mill meetings. (The Columbus-based company includes two Pickaway County economic advisors that I have interviewed in past years, Nate Green and Ryan Scribner.)

They are an “Ohio-based economic development and public policy consultancy serving companies and communities. The team offers their clients more than 105 years of combined experience in economic development, strategic planning, corporate site location, and lobbying.”

OhioSE is “the liaison for companies looking to locate or expand in our 25 county region of Southeastern Ohio. We are the ones with our ear to the ground, a wealth of data at our fingertips, and a network of resources that’s second to none…”

“OhioSE focuses on business retention and expansion, attraction, site selection and development services, stakeholder relations, and research support. With over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of this unique region, OhioSE is the primary resource for companies looking to relocate or grow in our 25-county area.‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌”

OhioSE says they work closely with JobsOhio, Ohio’s economic development corporation, which has been mentioned several times as a significant partner in this issue. “JobsOhio, the state’s unique private economic development corporation, acts as a catalyst for high-growth business investments and job creation that are helping propel the state’s ingenuity and ambitions forward.

“Founded 12 years ago, JobsOhio is a first-of-its-kind, state-authorized, nonprofit built with private stable financial resources, seasoned professionals with private sector expertise, a statewide network of economic development partners, and the long-term investment outlook needed to attract, retain, and expand businesses, payrolls, and career opportunities across the state.”
