CINCINNATI — Ohio’s new, private economic-development agency is betting on energy, autos, agriculture and planes to help lead the state’s turnaround.

How would 'reshoring' work here? JobsOhio has an idea
Business First by Dan Monk, Senior Staff Reporter
Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2012

“It’s absolutely a strategy that we’ll be pursuing,” said Kristi Tanner, chief operating officer of JobsOhio and general manager in charge of recruiting automotive, aerospace and aviation companies to the Buckeye State.

The Columbus Dispatch
Thursday April 26, 2012 5:59 AM

JobsOhio office is open for ideas
By Joe Vardon
The Columbus Dispatch
Tuesday May 1, 2012 7:17 AM

The view from the JobsOhio lobby is an aerial of the Statehouse — a breathtaking scene from the 15th floor of the Huntington Center. It’s a not-so-subtle reminder of the emphasis Gov. John Kasich has placed on economic development.
