AD Update:
-Greg Davis, Assistant Director
Ohio Development Services Agency – Directory of Ohio-Made Products
 |
Steve Kelly’s Research Office of the Ohio Development Services Agency recently published a directory of Ohio-made products. The 75-page report identifies companies in Ohio in alphabetical order, by county, by region and by product. The report states, “Over 355 [companies] are identified and many more are possible. To be listed, the product had to be assembled in Ohio and have a multi-state or national / international market focus. While there are hundreds of food and beverage products, the list tried to focus on products that have national name recognition.” |
Some interesting information shared here about Ohio’s employers - I encourage you to give it a look and keep the URL handy.
New Factsheet Published
 |
Kudos to authors Brian Raison and Dan Remley for their recently Ohioline-published factsheet, “Local Food Council Formation Planning Guide” (Ohioline CDFS -1573). In this peer-reviewed educational tool, they discuss and describe what a food policy council is and the purpose it serves. They also outline how interested community members might go about creating one. A draft agenda to help guide an ‘organizing meeting’ is also included. |
Have a good week!
