Van Wert Chamber of Commerce
Economic development continues to be the focus in Van Wert County. With the existence of two industrial parks — the Van Wert Industrial Park on the south side and Vision Park, located on the north side adjacent to U.S. Route 30 — Van Wert is positioned for growth in both parks. Shovel-ready sites make these areas attractive to small and medium-sized business and industry. The almost 1,600-acre mega site on the northeastern side of Van Wert, located on U.S. Route 30 giving easy access to I-75 and I-69, will have the infrastructure completed in 2013. Electric, gas, water, sewer, fiber optics and rail to the site make this one of two Mega industrial sites in the state of Ohio. Land options were secured through the year 2022. During the next 10 years both the Ohio Department of Development and our local economic development efforts will market this site. We have seen and will continue to see the growth of green energy in our area. Wind farms have become commonplace in and around Van Wert County. With approximately 150 wind turbines up and producing, the future could see another 250 within the next few years. The capital
investment, construction and maintenance have been an economic boost to the area. The annual business retention program continues to be a key in maintaining a relationship with existing business and an understanding of their plans, needs and overall day-to-day situations. This program gives an insight for our economic development efforts that can address the individual challenges of business and industry today. Van Wert continues to enhance its local incentives to attract new business. These incentives consist of: 1) A Community Reinvestment Area Tax Exemption, 2) Van Wert Enterprise Zone Tax Exemption, 3) Tax Increment Financing, 4) City of Van Wert Free Land for Job Creation, and 5) City of Van Wert Job Creation Incentive Payment Program. In addition to the above incentives, Van Wert will assist in securing funding through the state of Ohio.

Downtown Revitalization Benefitting Entire Van Wert Community Main Street Van Wert continues to help entrepreneurs and established businesses alike. Whether providing dining, insurance or one-of-a-kind items and gifts, several stores and businesses downtown are continuing to benefit from the cooperative spirit found in Main Street Van Wert, Inc. The not-for-profit downtown development venture is in its 10th year of providing assistance of all kinds to existing and potential business owners in Van Wert’s historic district. Having seen over a century of change, downtown continues to provide goods and services at the heart of the Van Wert community. Main Street actively works toward downtown development by encouraging building improvements, recruiting new businesses and hosting seasonal festivals. Primarily a volunteer-led organization, Main Street has played a pivotal role in the startup of several new stores, administered over $600,000 in grants toward building rehabilitation, and introduced new events to bring people downtown. Each June, Main Street draws over 20,000 visitors to ArtRageous on Main, a fine arts and crafts fair at Fountain Park.
A vibrant downtown means higher property values, increased tourism and a more attractive reflection of the entire community. With revitalization at the core of their efforts, Main Street Van Wert is working towards a community that can support itself by keeping more money local, retaining and creating local jobs, and using existing resources more effectively.

Around the Neighborhood Housing Selections Abound
V
an Wert County offers all types of real estate, including commercial, farmland, industrial, investment and residential. Farmland values have been on the rise, with prices now ranging from $4,500 to $7,500 per acre. Residential properties have also slightly increased. The average residential home prices in 2009 and 2010 were $80,000 and $81,500
respectively. Standard 2-acre rural building lots are around $20,000. The foreclosure market has given investors/ homeowners the opportunity to turn fixeruppers into rental properties or family homes or to speculate on and “flip” these properties. With either option, the reverse of the negative stigma of foreclosures is that homes/neighborhoods are being cleaned up and renovated.
It’s important to remember that real estate markets/trends are local, especially when comparing the Van Wert County real estate market to the larger markets in the United States. The greater Van Wert area has seen a steady increase in property values.

Brumback Library is one of the most photographed historic structures in northwest Ohio. Located in downtown Van Wert, the library’s expansive lawn enhances the structure’s castle-like appearance. John Sanford Brumback, a Van Wert banker, conceived and financed the Gothic and Romanesque structure. The interior features mosaic tile floors, marble and plaster walls, and a 30-foot decorative ceiling in the reading room. In use for over 100 years, the library is the first in the United States to serve an entire county. The Brumback Library remains a well-utilized and much-loved Van Wert County resource.
The Victorian-era Clark Mansion is the focal point of the Van Wert County Historical Society’s Museum Park. “The public will see artifacts from Native American days to the present,” says Jeanne Zeigler, Historical Society spokesperson. The museum grounds also feature a carefully restored and maintained 1860s two-story log home, an 1875 courthouse gazebo, a 1906 one-room schoolhouse, a Pennsylvania Railroad caboose, and a barn filled with antique farm machinery. The museum is open on Sundays between March and December in Van Wert.
Peony Festival & Artageous on Main is two festivals in one — and one wonderful experience.
