• Abstract:
  The challenge that spurred this project is that transportation is traditionally an afterthought when it comes ; to company site selection. This yields three chief problems: ; 1. Ohio’s expansive transportation network (ex. roads, rails, ports, and airports) and associated ; facilities (ex. intermodal facilities) are marketable assets when compared to other states and are ; not being leveraged properly ; 2. Companies contacting ODOT with transportation infrastructure enhancement requests, after they ; settled at a site that, sometimes, are not feasible ; 3. The possibility for the local existing transportation infrastructure supporting a company’s logistical ; network to degrade more rapidly than projected if it was not designed to handle the extra loading ; associated with receiving and shipping goods ; With the creation of the Jobs and Commerce Office came the need for a framework to make ; recommendations to assist in the site selection process, with assistance from agencies, such as Jobs ; Ohio, for incoming/expanding companies. The goal of this research project was to fulfill this need with the ; creation and development of the Opportunity Zone Identification Program or “OZ Program” for short.
