Preparing for Intel
The predominantly rural area in Licking County is changing rapidly due to Intel breaking ground. The new expansion is the largest economic development win ever for Ohio. With all the new changes, the county will face challenges involving housing, transportation, water, power, land use, etc. Framework, a consulting firm, “is a planning initiative that aims to address economics, land use, character of place, transportation and more. The group is working to understand the impacts and benefits that Intel will bring.”
Sarah Wallace, a member of the Thomas J. Evans Foundation board, said, “We want to put together a rational, yet aspirational picture for how growth should occur. It is not just about getting through the first three to five years,” she said. “We should be building something sustainable for our lifetimes and future generations.”

The state of Ohio on Monday granted an estimated $71.3 million in tax breaks for Honda to build a battery factory in Fayette County, part of what is expected to be $156 million in state incentives for the project.” Honda’s announcement of the new $3.5 billion factory was just said three weeks ago. The new development is planning to bring in 2,200 workers by 2025.
Jim Weiker from The Columbus Dispatch reported that “the state's Tax Credit Authority on Monday approved Job Creation Tax Credits worth an estimated $71.3 million for the combined Honda projects. The ultimate value of the tax credits depend on how many jobs are created and the value of the new payroll, which is estimated at $117.6 million a year. Honda is required to keep the facilities in the state for at least 33 years as part of the deal.”
