Buckeye Hills seeks feedback on Rural Economic Development Innovation Plan
The Buckeye Hills region is one of 47 rural communities and regions selected through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's REDI initiative to receive planning assistance to implement focused and actionable economic development plans.
The REDI Plan will focus on enhanced E-connectivity and broadband availability, as addressing digital inclusion by increasing digital skills and access to devices.
As identified in a snapshot of regional data, provided by Purdue University, more than 10,340 active businesses operate in the Buckeye Hills region of Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry, and Washington counties. Of these businesses, 10,242 (99 percent) have 99 employees or fewer. This plan will focus on these companies, which together provide over 71,000 jobs in the region.
