📰 News we're reading
• Ohio awards tax credits for 1,618 new jobs, including 300 in Bedford (cleveland.com) — Worthington is in line for new jobs as AAA Club Alliance expands operations there under a state-approved tax credit, part of a broader package of incentives across Ohio. The program will support 1,618 new jobs statewide, including major manufacturing and tech investments from companies like Hikma Pharmaceuticals and OPmobility, potentially strengthening the region’s overall job market. 
• Exactly how much your central Ohio city has grown since 2020 (nbc4i.com) — Worthington is one of several central Ohio cities that actually lost residents between 2020 and 2025, bucking the region’s overall growth trend. New Census estimates show surrounding counties booming while Franklin County grows modestly and some inner-ring suburbs, including Worthington, shrink slightly. Long-term forecasts still predict major population gains for central Ohio overall.
• Single-family construction slowed in Q1 (hbsdealer.com) — A national housing report prominently features NAHB chairman Bill Owens, a homebuilder and remodeler from Worthington explaining how high costs and interest rates are slowing single-family construction. The data show building activity shifting away from dense metro cores toward more affordable rural and smaller metro areas, while multifamily construction remains comparatively strong but could face similar pressures soon.
