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.
