The Lake County Board of Commissioners voted to establish an Office of Economic Development under Ohio Revised Code section 307.07.
A commissioner said the change, coordinated with the prosecutor's office, will provide the county with additional financing tools for future economic development projects. The commission emphasized the move will not add staff or increase salaries; the board said Jason Boyd will lead the office in addition to his existing responsibilities.
The resolution passed by roll call. Commissioners characterized the action as expanding the county's toolkit for financing projects rather than creating a new payroll line.
