Leaders at Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) want to expand their role in economic development for their service area by inviting “big industrial companies to the region,” the Dayton Daily News reports. DP&L launched a new website, OhioCertifiedSites.com, “meant to direct large industrial companies to the locations within the 24-county DP&L service area that the utility says are ripe for building and business,” according to the article. Tom Tatham, director of operations for DP&L, calls the website “an investment in the region,” saying, “[i]f the region succeeds, we succeed.” Dayton Development Coalition vice president of development Julie Sullivan said utilities “can be an intake point,” noting that companies searching for locations “want details about possible sites” and certified sites indicate “a certain level of readiness for development.” For more, read the full article.
