ATTRACT WORKERS WHO ARE COMMUTING OUT
An initiative developed by the GREATER SPRINGFIELD PARTNERSHIP (GSP), CLARK COUNTY JOBS is inviting residents to reconsider Clark County as a destination for growing their careers. The county has a history of workers living there but leaving to work in nearby Dayton or Columbus, Ohio. As the GSP has attracted major investment to the community, it’s become necessary to redirect residents' attention back to their own community for finding a job.

The Royse City, TX Community
Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
