 Ohio wraps up 2025 with a blend of economic momentum and political anticipation amid winter challenges. Governor Mike DeWine approved 17 economic development projects expected to create 2,347 jobs and retain 8,592 more, with over $1.1 billion in investments, according to the Ohio Governors Office. Standouts include SencorWhite's 230-job relocation to Hamilton from Massachusetts and CareSource's 167-job expansion in Dayton, both backed by Job Creation Tax Credits. Separately, DeWine announced 12 projects adding over 1,100 jobs in data centers and digital health, as reported by Ohio Tech News, though data center growth faces rising public pushback over electricity costs. Despite these wins, analysts note a weakening job market, with Ohio's labor force participation at 62.4% and increased unemployment claims topping 50,000 last week per the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. An Emerson College poll shows the economy as the top concern for 44% of voters.

In politics, the 136th General Assembly saw DeWine sign multiple bills into law on December 19, per his office, while House Bill 575 proposes process tweaks to the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program for fairness, awaiting 2026 action according to the OSU Farm Office. The Columbus Dispatch recapped 2025's big political moments, eyeing midterm races ahead.

Communities focus on growth: Olentangy Schools plan stadium upgrades and new facilities to combat overcrowding projected for 2026-27, while Salem K-8 adds six classrooms to its $55.8 million buildout, staying on budget as stated by Treasurer Michael Douglas. Broadband expansion along US Route 30 seeks applicants through January, investing $20 million in middle-mile infrastructure, Lydia Mihalik of the Ohio Department of Development noted.

Recent weather brought arctic blasts and lake-effect snow to Northeast Ohio, with gusts to 50 mph, flash freezes, and up to 3 inches in snow belts per WKYC forecasts, following a December 13 storm dumping inches across southern counties as covered by Peoples Defender.

Looking Ahead: Watch for CAUV changes in the New Year, data center debates, and 2026 midterms shaping Ohios economy and policies.
