Several townships approve new economic development zones
Voters in the recent general election gave approval to several different economic development initiatives across the state. Voters in Columbia Township and the City of Fairfax approved a joint economic development zone (JEDZ) that will levy a one-percent earnings tax on people who work and businesses that operate within designated township commercial areas, Cincinnati.com reports. In addition, Clinton Township and the City of Grandview Heights approved a new JEDZ in which the city "will collect its 2.5 percent tax rate for the township in a designated commercial zone that includes the Lennox Town Center," The Columbus Dispatch reports.
