Governor's Statement on Bipartisan Renewal of Third Frontier

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today released the following statement regarding the Ohio legislature's bipartisan support for a renewal of the Ohio Third Frontier program.

The $700 million renewal will be placed on the May 2010 ballot for voter approval.

"All sides can be proud of this bipartisan agreement to place a renewal of the Ohio Third Frontier before voters in May. Third Frontier was created with the support of Ohioans in 2002 and has since created more than 48,000 jobs through its investments in high-growth industries.

"The overwhelming bipartisan support from the legislature is a strong validation of the most successful economic development and job-creating program in Ohio. I appreciate Ohio's business, higher education and labor leaders for supporting Third Frontier and for their unwavering belief in Ohio. They know that our best days are ahead of us, not behind us. Renewing Third Frontier is a central part of Ohio's plan to build a foundation for long-term economic progress. I will encourage Ohioans to support this proven program at every opportunity."
