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.

Development FAQs

The City offers three major tax incentives: the Troy Enterprise Zone Program, the Tax Increment Finance District Program, and the Community Reinvestment Area Program. For more information, visit our Business Development page.

Community Reinvestment Areas are areas of land in which property owners can receive tax incentives for investing in real property improvements. Troy has two Community Reinvestment Areas (CRAs), which combine to cover the entire city. If you are performing significant improvements to your home or business, you may qualify. Contact us for more information.

You typically need a zoning permit for any permanent additions.
