Jobs Ready Site / Thomson Facility
Local officials and the new owner of the former Thomson Consumer Products factory site share a vision and financial partnership to redevelop the site into Pickaway Progress Park — a 227-acre industrial/commercial park that has attracted state, local, and private funding. This site has the potential for mixed-use development: industrial, retail, and residential.
Sofidel
Sofidel is based in Porcari, Italy, just west of Florence in the Tuscany region. Founded nearly 50 years ago, this tissue manufacturer is still privately held by the families of its founders. Sofidel is recognized as the sixth-largest manufacturer of tissue paper in the world, with operations in 13 countries.
Sofidel Group chose Pickaway County for their new plant — their first U.S. greenfield project. They currently operate a 1.4 million-square-foot plant just south of Circleville as part of a multipronged expansion in North America.
Southern Gateway Economic Innovation Development Center
Located on the campus of Ohio Christian University (OCU), this facility offers incubator space for startup businesses and entrepreneurs, focusing primarily on agricultural, technology, and logistics businesses. Federal, state, and private funding has made this project a reality.
