2004 to 2007 Butler County

ECONOMIC Development Summary

The Butler County Department of Economic Development had a record year in 2007 with over $850 million in new investment made in the County.  Total new investment was 31.3% or $204 million higher than the previous record of $651 million set in 2005.  A total of 5,484,463 sq. ft. of commercial and industrial space was either leased or sold in Butler County during 2007.  More than $2.4 billion dollars has been invested in Butler County during the four-year period from 2004 to 2007.

 

What really sets Butler County apart from the rest of Ohio and much of the U.S. is that of the more than $850 million in new investment made in the County during 2007, $547,303,220 or 64% of that investment was made in manufacturing projects.  While U.S. employment has increased by over 5% since the end of the last recession in November 2001, during the same period Ohio lost 136,000 or 13.2% of its manufacturing jobs.  This makes the trend toward more manufacturing investment in Butler County all the more noteworthy.
