The recipients of the JobsOhio Inclusion Grant (JOIG) program have been selected based on their eligibility for financial assistance in distressed communities or for businesses owned by underrepresented populations across Ohio.

These grants will contribute to the creation of 25 new jobs and the retention of 129 jobs in Allen County, demonstrating the program's commitment to supporting local employment opportunities.
It is important to note that the JOIG program, as a JobsOhio grant, is funded by non-tax revenue. This highlights the initiative's focus on utilizing alternative sources of funding to facilitate economic growth and development in the region.
The allocation of these grants reflects the ongoing efforts to stimulate economic recovery and promote business expansion in Allen County. By providing financial assistance to these companies, the program aims to foster growth and enhance operations, ultimately benefiting the local community and contributing to the region's overall economic success.
