The Organization

The Hocking County Community Improvement Corporation was established as an economic development entity. Since the Hocking County CIC is privately funded, projects in development are subject to competitive wages rather that prevailing wages making it much easier and economical to locate or expand in Hocking County. The Hocking County CIC works closely with city and county officials to promote economic growth, retention and expansion of current businesses.

The first Industrial Park in Logan and Hocking County was developed by the Hocking County CIC in the 1960s. A 50-acre park along Chieftain Drive has since been developed.

75 Acre Commercial Building Site

The Hocking County CIC also owns the CIC Professional Building on State Route 664 North and a 40,000 square foot office complex on East Front Street.

A local, volunteer board of directors and a full-time executive director guide the Hocking County CIC. The organization may purchase, develop and market commercial buildings, commercial sites and the industrial park in cooperation with private developers and property owners.

The Hocking County CIC has been instrumental in marketing Logan and Hocking County as a great place to live and work.
