Cuyahoga County has expanded the reach of its anti-poaching agreement, spearheaded by County Executive Ed FitzGerald, to include 8 more municipalities within the county (see our September 16, 2011, blog post). The pact, designed to discourage neighboring communities from luring businesses from one another, now has a total of 28 jurisdictions within Cuyahoga County that have agreed to sign on and share taxes whenever companies move from one suburb to another, Columbus Business First reports. Varying anti-poaching agreements of this nature are slowly making their way across Ohio with a version in existence in the greater Dayton area and another just recently finalized and signed by 12 communities in central Ohio (see our March 30, 2012, blog post).
