When a Family Furniture Store Closed, This Ohio Building Got a Second Life as a Place for Entrepreneurs

A downtown building that once helped families furnish their homes now furnishes something else entirely: big ideas.

Gas companies profit, Ohioans bemoan lack of jobs

Residents in eight Ohio counties believe big business is giving them the shaft. Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe and Noble County citizens said a promise of more jobs in fracking is not being met. Fracking drills water, sand and a chemical mix into cracked rock formations to release trapped oil or natural gas to produce shale gas. Sean O'Leary, senior researcher at the Ohio River Valley Institute, said there's been great interest in gas deposits in northeast Ohio since the 2000s. "Many political leaders, certainly business leaders, saw the development of what would eventually become the richest natural gas field in the world would be a driver of economic development in the region," O’Leary explained. Generating natural gas produces substantial revenue , O'Leary noted, and since 2006, microseismic technology has advanced shale gas production while the need for workers has declined. A 2023 economic impact study by the American Petroleum Institute suggested 50,000 industry jobs would be created in Ohio. The absence of reinvestment in communities hosting fracking operations is considered troubling by industry experts, especially amid a weakening job market. Big business and policymakers are “turning their heads the other way,” O’Leary contended. "There are surprisingly few

Hearing reveals deep divide over central Ohio data center power plants

A hearing about a proposed gas-fired power plant in western Licking County drew several opponents concerned about the project. A handful of people representing industries that benefit from the construction of facilities such as the proposed 500-megawatt Neo Power Generation Facility and a 260 megawatt battery storage system proposed by Will-Power spoke in favor of the project during the hearing, which was held Oct. 6, at the New Albany-Plain Local Schools Annex Building in New Albany. About 20 people spoke against the proposal, several saying they respect the positions of those who would benefit through jobs and the sale of equipment, but they said the environmental risks aren’t worth the benefits. The proponents spoke of economic benefits, including income-tax revenue and jobs. Frank Uhl II, of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 18, for example, said that the union’s 16,000 members operate heavy equipment used in construction, “and they are working on similar projects across the state.” That means jobs for thousands of Ohioans and tax revenue for communities, he said.
