The Wood County Planning Commission works with the Wood County Economic Development Commission on programs and projects that work to strengthen Wood County's Economy.
Two of these programs that have Planning Commission involvement are the Ohio Enterprise Zone program, and the Community Reinvestment Area program. These programs are designed to offer incentives in the form of reduced taxes to firms and businesses looking to locate within Wood County.
The role of the Planning Commission Office in this project is to compile yearly reports from every firm in Wood County that is taking advantage of either of these programs and report this information to the Ohio Department of Development.
