ATTRACT WORKERS WHO ARE COMMUTING OUT
An initiative developed by the GREATER SPRINGFIELD PARTNERSHIP (GSP), CLARK COUNTY JOBS is inviting residents to reconsider Clark County as a destination for growing their careers. The county has a history of workers living there but leaving to work in nearby Dayton or Columbus, Ohio.
