Re: Resolution No. 61-06 - Authorizing the City Manager to File an Application
with the State of Ohio for Assistance under the Ohio Job Ready Sites
Program for the Central Ohio Innovation Center
Summary
On November 8, 2005, Ohio voters approved a $2 billion public works and economic
development bond package, which included $150 million in bond proceeds to be issued during
the next seven years to implement the Ohio Job Ready Sites (JRS) Program to develop an
inventory of job-ready sites around the State. The JRS Program is intended to stimulate the
compilation and development of large parcels of land and/or large buildings that will attract
significant investments and create high wage job opportunities for Ohioans.
The Ohio Department of Development's (ODOD) Economic Development Division will
administer the JRS Program. The Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) District Integrating
Committees will have the lead in project development for the competitive funding round. Each
District Integrating Committee (or its designated review team) will rank and prioritize projects
based on criteria provided by ODOD and by district priority. Up to three projects per grant
round in each OPWC district can be submitted to ODOD, where the applications will be ranked
on a state-wide basis using the same criteria. The Director of ODOD will make funding
recommendations to the State Controlling Board for final approval.
The first and second round applications (rounds one (1) and two (2) have been combined) are
required to be filed with the OPWC District Integrating Committee by July 19, 2006. The
Committee will submit no more than six (6) projects to ODOD by September 6, 2006. The
ODOD is scheduled to announce their recommended applications on November 1, 2006 and
make funding recommendations to the State Controlling Board which is scheduled to meet
December 4, 2006 for final approval.
The maximum grant award is $5 million or up to 75 percent of allowable costs. It is anticipated
to be a very competitive process. The City's application will be for the Central Ohio Innovation
Center.
The City also recently submitted a grant application to ODOD requesting financial assistance
from the Roadway Development (629) Account. If our application is successful, we will need to
adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of that grant.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 61-06 at the July 3,2006 City Council meeting.
