The Gallia County Port Authority (GCPA) held its first ever meeting on April 16th, where it made important first steps to further economic development. The GCPA was established by the Gallia County Commissioners in the fall of 2026 as another tool in our development toolbelt. Under Ohio law, port authorities have special powers to support development projects. Now that the GCPA is operational, Gallia County will have another set of tools to support development.

The first board of directors of the GCPA includes Wes Clary, Kate Cox, Nick Smith, Rick Jackson, and Corey Luce. We appreciate your volunteer service to further Gallia County!

We were honored to have Congressman Dave Taylor in Gallia County last week. We shared with him details of the spec building, plans for the Dan Evans Industrial Park, and toured the Kyger Creek Power Plant with him. We were pleased to also have Commissioner Jeremy Kroll participate in the tour of the Industrial Park. We appreciate Rep. Taylor's insights and advocacy for development in southeastern Ohio!
