Community Improvement Corporations
Operating as the economic development engine for municipalities and townships under ORC Chapter 1724, CICs require a blend of regulatory expertise, site readiness strategy, and funding navigation. Reveille delivers end-to-end administration, guiding entities through land acquisition, grant procurement, incentive structuring, and master planning to attract sustained private investment and build resilient local economies.
Our work with regional economic development organizations demonstrates the value of proactive CIC management. For the Waterville CIC (www.waterville-cic.com), Reveille helps implement the comprehensive community plan it developed for the city, focusing on neighborhood preservation, downtown revitalization, and development strategies that support the city’s long-term vitality. For the Spencer Oak Openings Region Area CIC (SOAR CIC: www.soar-cic.com), we provided the organizational presence and blueprint to operationalize a multi-jurisdictional strategy, aligning industrial attraction and grant acquisition with environmental stewardship in an ecologically sensitive area. Whether launching a new development corporation or elevating an established board, Reveille provides the insight, structure, and execution needed to drive meaningful community growth.

Joint Economic Development Zones and Districts
Reveille helps Ohio municipalities and townships overcome jurisdictional boundaries to unlock shared economic growth. Under the Ohio Revised Code, Joint Economic Development Districts (JEDDs) and Joint Economic Development Zones (JEDZs) serve as vital financial and operational frameworks that enable neighboring political subdivisions to collaborate rather than compete. Reveille offers complete guidance throughout the lifecycle of these entities, from initial feasibility analysis and tax revenue modeling to intergovernmental agreement drafting, public hearing coordination, and ongoing board administration.
Our work with regional partners, such as providing administrative and strategic guidance to the Spencer Township Whitehouse JEDZ, demonstrates how collaborative revenue-sharing structures can directly fund critical infrastructure, improve public services, and spur business attraction. Whether assisting local governments in forming a new JEDD under ORC Chapter 715 to facilitate commercial and industrial expansion or managing the operational governance of an active JEDZ, Reveille provides the organization and planning expertise needed to turn regional partnerships into long-term economic advantages.
