It’s time for Ohio’s lawmakers to pass legislation supporting community solar projects

6/24/2024

0 Comments

As concerns around electric grid reliability intensify, the need for more sustainable energy options grows. Ohio legislators have a golden opportunity to explore an innovative solution to these problems with House Bill 197.

Introduced by Ohio Representatives Jim Hoops, R-Napoleon, and Sharon Ray, R-Wadsworth, HB197 would create a pilot program to encourage the development of community solar projects in Ohio for both residential and commercial use. 

Community solar is a simple yet transformative concept: it allows residents, businesses and organizations to share the benefits of a solar energy system without having to bear 100% of the associated costs as individuals. Instead, solar modules are installed on rooftops, in parking lots, on capped landfills, or at shared facilities within a community. Participants, including individuals, schools, hospitals, religious institutions, and businesses, subscribe to a portion of the solar energy produced by the panels, offsetting their electric bills and contributing to in-demand, renewable energy generation.

  • Ohio is the 10th largest exporter of goods in the United States.
  • Ohio's exports in 2023 were valued at $55.8 billion, a 9% increase in the last decade.
  • Ohio's exports went to 210 countries and territories. Canada was the top destination, followed by Mexico, then Asian countries.
  • Industrial machinery was Ohio's top export product followed by vehicles, aircraft, electrical machinery, plastics, and optic/photo/medical instruments.
  • Ohio leads the nation in exports of soaps/cleaning preparations/waxes as well as paints/dyes/putty.
  • Service industries can also export.
​So, what are the benefits of exporting, how can your business best take advantage of them, and how can the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce help?

TRCC Advocacy Efforts Continue for a True Free-Flow Connection to Central Ohio

6/18/2024

As you may have seen, Governor Mike DeWine yesterday announced recommendations for improvements to U.S. 23 in Delaware County. These improvements are designed to improve safety and traffic flow in the Delaware area - a critical part of the two-pronged solution that we have been advocating to be implemented. That two-pronged solution is 1) address the degradation that has been allowed to happen that has impeded the flow of traffic and 2) establish a free-flow connection between northwest and central Ohio. A copy of the recommendations is here. These recommendations will be subject to public comment and modifications to this plan may take place. Even with the proposed changes, there will likely be seven traffic lights on U.S. 23. While this is better - Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Dayton, and Cincinnati have a combined zero traffic lights as part of their connection.
This is a good first-step, however we must continue to maintain our collective voice for a true free-flow connection to central Ohio.

Living a Life of Safety Awareness by Ken Finley, Senior Risk Manager, V+A Risk Services

Are you someone who spots a corner turned up on a mat at a restaurant and straightens it out? If so, you are one of my people.

During the month of June, we celebrate National Safety Month. It’s a great time to recognize the men and women who devote their lives to keeping people safe. One such individual is Julie Reynolds of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation; she is a tremendous advocate of safety & hygiene in the workplace. Another safety hero of mine is Bob Momany, President of the Safety Council of Northwest Ohio who is a flowing fountain of safety training and knowledge. 
 

A great lesson was learned from Bryan Johnson of Miami Industrial Trucks at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Safety Conference held recently in April. Bryan asked “who has the right-of-way at a pedestrian crosswalk? Is it the pedestrian or the vehicle that is approaching the crossing?” We, of course, all answered “the pedestrian” which is how the rules are written. But does “right-of-way” mean anything to the oncoming truck that doesn’t see the pedestrian who is looking down at his phone? Keen awareness of your surroundings cannot be understated as a measure of safety!
