It was a pleasure for our staff to provide a site visit of the Southeastern Ohio Spec Building to several of our elected officials. Construction is advancing swiftly on the 50,000 SF building, and we’d like to thank Congressman Dave Taylor, as well as the Gallia County Board of Commissioners for their support.

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!
