2023 Community Development Society Outstanding Program Award

The Ohio State University Noble County Extension Community Development program - East of I-77 Business Park, received the Community Development Society's Outstanding Program Award in July at the Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon.

The project included many public and private partners. Noble County and Crock Construction, in partnership with JobsOhio and Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), announced the development of an industrial park one mile east of I-77 near Caldwell, Ohio, designed to attract logistics, light manufacturing, and oil and gas support industries in the region.

The project includes the construction of a 10,000 square-foot commercial speculative building, construction of a new access road, site work, full utilities, and extension of water and sewer to six commercial sites within the planned Caldwell East of I-77 Business Park now under construction.
