EV investments in the state have topped $8 billion in the past year and a half, led by Honda's move to make Ohio the U.S. hub for its investments in electric vehicles and the batteries that power them. ‘The advent of EVs necessitates comprehensive changes to our power grid, workforce, and production systems, and Ohio is poised to play a significant role in meeting these demands and accelerating their adoption across the United States,’ Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said in the report, released last month at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center in northeast Ohio.”

“The newest office building at Thrive Cos. Jeffrey Park development is now pre-leasing. The six-story, 101,000-square-foot speculative office building is expected to be finished by the end of 2024. Matt Negron, director of development for Thrive Cos., said the office's exposure from I-670 could be attractive to prospective tenants.
