Delaware County is the fastest-growing, most-educated county in Ohio, yet nearly 80 percent of its population commutes to surrounding areas each day for work. It’s a trend local leaders hope to reverse with a new partnership among the county, the city of Delaware and Ohio Wesleyan University, meant to encourage innovation in the area.
A partnership thought to be the first of its kind will bring an entrepreneurial center to Ohio Wesleyan University’s campus in Delaware.
Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware County, and the City of Delaware are joining together to create The Delaware Entrepreneurial Center, a business incubator and education center to be located on the OWU campus.
After several years of planning, a project focused on city and countywide economic development and fueling the entrepreneurial spirit among not only students at Ohio Wesleyan University, but also residents of the City of Delaware and Delaware County, is nearing fruition.
