The Ohio State Treasurer's Office has developed several development programs for Ohio businesses.  The following is excerpted from materials distributed by the Treasurer's Office.  "At the State Treasurer's office, the Economic Development Department is authorized to invest up to 12% of the state's investment portfolio into linked deposit programs. These programs focus on strategic investments that target the creation and retention of jobs, offer bonus interest rates on savings accounts, make homes more energy efficient and provide reduced rates on farmers' operating loans or lines of credit. To fund such programs, the State Treasurer's office places investments at an eligible Ohio bank who in turn uses the interest earnings to reduce their borrowing costs and provide interest bonuses for Ohioans. State Treasurer Josh Mandel is committed to exploring partnerships with the financial services industry to support and encourage economic development, stability and growth here in Ohio."

Howland Township and the Howland Fire Department are instituting a voluntary Self-Inspection Program for small business or professional offices, small retail shops, and small personal service shops. These businesses would conduct their own inspection of their premises to check for various safety issues. This optional program alleviates the need for one of the formal, physical inspections by the HFD. With the current number of businesses in our community, the HFD has found it challenging to inspect every business as frequently as has been done in the past with the current staffing levels. Simply not inspecting some businesses as often impacts the safety of the business and its owners, employees, and customers. This program is an example of Howland Township and the HFD maintaining the high-level of quality service that our public expects while being conscious of our budgetary limitations, all while working with our business community to keep them and the public safe.
