Welcome to the City of Pataskala's Economic Development Website! The City is committed to expanding its non-residential commercial and industrial tax base in order to secure a strong financial foundation for the community. With almost 40 square miles of area and strategic location, the City has the opportunity to blend its quality neighborhoods, with acres of greenfield development, distinct rural character and vital commercial corridors.
The City is located between the important State Route 161 and Interstate 70 corridors. We are traversed east-west by the State Route 16 (Broad Street) corridor and north-south by the State Route 310 corridor. This strategic location offers unmatched access to development sites and locations in and around the area, and provides excellent tranportation opportunities for good and services, as well as employee access. The City has three Downtowns balanced with an unprecedented amount of greenfield development sites.
The City offers a wide range of incentives to encourage investment in the community. We encourage you to consider Pataskala as the best location for you to grow your business. You will not be disappointed.
Job Ready Site - Pataskala Corporate Park:
In late 2006, the Ohio Department of Development designated a 300+ acre site in the City as eligible for Job Ready Sites (JRS) funding. As such, this site, at the southeast corner of State Route 16 (Broad Street) and Mink Street is recognized as one of the premier sites for manufacturing and industrial development in the State of Ohio. Currently the City, Licking County, and the JRS property ownership are working closely on a soon to be constructed roadway that will link State Route 16 (Broad Street) and U.S. 40 (The National Road), improving the routing to Interstate 70 and offering unparalleled access for commerce.
