Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP)

The Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP) sits inside JobsOhio's incentive portfolio and is built for speculative site and building development in Ohio. It backs communities, port authorities, private developers, nonprofits, and businesses that are assembling sites before an end user is identified, with a mandate to improve the state's site-selection position. The program combines grants and loans. Grants can cover demolition, environmental remediation, renovations, site preparation, and infrastructure, up to $2 million per project; the combined grant-and-loan package can reach $5 million, and JobsOhio's share is capped at 50 percent of total project costs. The program carries $250 million in total funding, or $50 million a year, across July 2020 through June 2030, and applicants start with a pre-vet form before the full application. OSIP is aimed at projects that can show control of the site and future demand, with a Phase I environmental assessment required and Phase II work when recommended. That makes it a fit for near-term industrial and commercial development teams that can move quickly on remediation, infrastructure, and positioning for later tenant demand.
