The Development Department works across multiple functions within the City of Troy: job creation, retention, expansion, and diversification; and stabilization or increase of the local tax base.
Having formed a public-private partnership with the local chamber of commerce, utility companies, banks, and real estate developers,he department serves as the starting point for formulating and coordinating all economic development programs. Under Ohio statutory law, the state gives local governments economic development tools to implement a comprehensive plan. Some of these tools include: zoning land for industry and businesses, providing amenities and infrastructure, underwriting risk, and creating an ongoing economic development financing and promotion capacity.
Administrative Support
The Development Department provides staff review and administrative support to Troy Main Street and the Troy Development Council.
