Vora Technology Park
Vora Technology Park was built with occupant comfort and data center fault tolerance in mind. It provides Class A office space, a secure state-of-the-art data center, and a professional incubator wing for the use of both established and growing high-technology companies, thereby providing partners and tenants the opportunity to exponentially grow their businesses. The facility was the former home of the Champion International/International Papers corporate headquarters which included their data center operations for all of their North American operations. In 2007, Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions (CBTS) invested approximately $60 million in the development of a new data center at the site.

Utilities & Sustainability The City of Hamilton, Department of Electric, is responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power for customers in and around the City of Hamilton, as well as other associated services and systems. The City of Hamilton has owned and operated its own electric utility system since 1893. As the City’s electric service requirements increased, the utility has grown into an integrated generation, transmission and distribution system serving approximately 30,000 customers, with operating revenues of over $65 million annually. The City has consistently invested in its Electric System over the years to ensure that it provides the most cost-effective, responsive and reliable service possible. As a result of the City’s consistent efforts to continuously improve its Electric System, Hamilton’s low-cost power provides its customers with highly competitive and stable electric rates as compared to other electric energy providers in the region. Presently, 40% of Hamilton’s electric supply is provided by green hydroelectric power. In 2014, the amount of Hamilton’s power generation from renewable, non-carbon emitting sources will be between 65-70%, and 100% by the end of 2015.
The City of Hamilton is prepared to offer 100% green energy at the rates detailed in the follwing pages. The City of Hamilton can offer the following estimated “All-in Costs” for a very high (90%) load factor customer at the following demand levels: 1. 3 MW
$0.56 (per kWh)
2. 5 MW
$0.55 (per kWh)
3. 10 MW
$0.54 (per kWh)
4. 15 MW

70% RENEWABLE ENERGY
When the city completes construction on the new Meldahl Hydroelectric Dam in 2014, the amount of Hamilton’s power generation from renewable, non-carbon emitting sources will be between 65-70%, and 100% by the end of 2015. 3
UTILITY COSTS
It is often the case that going green comes at a higher cost. Not in Hamilton. The City’s customer-owned utilities operations will provide customers a 7% average monthly savings over their neighbors in Southwest Ohio in 2013. Coupled with City of Hamilton incentives, this savings can be increased even more.

Local & State Financial Assistance Job Creation Tax Credit
The Ohio Third Frontier is successfully building an innovation economy with a commitment to:
A refundable tax credit to companies generally creating at least 10 new jobs (within three years) with a minimum annual payroll of $660,000 that pay at least 150% of the federal minimum wage. The tax credit is measured as a percentage of the state income tax withholdings for all new employees hired under the program, and is applied toward the company’s commercial activity tax liability. Should the amount of the credit exceed the company’s commercial activity tax liability for any given year, the difference is refunded. A business must apply for the credit before committing to the project. Applicants must be approved through the Ohio Tax Credit Authority before hiring begins.
Available Buildings
Ohio Third Frontier
Created in 2002, the Ohio Third Frontier is an unprecedented commitment to create new technologybased products, companies, industries and jobs. The $2.3 billion initiative’s strategic intent is to create an “innovation ecosystem” that supports the efficient and seamless transition of great ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace. Hamilton, Ohio
February 7, 2013
• Produce a high level of economic return for the state in quality jobs, company growth, and wealth creation • Attract companies, talent, and capital to Ohio • Create sustainable engines of economic development activity in key areas of technology and industry strengths • Reduce the risk of pursuing entrepreneurial, innovation, and development activities in Ohio
Hamilton Business Development Team Serves as a single point of contact and direct oneon-one communication to businesses throughout the process rather than requiring businesses to navigate a maze of multiple departments and individuals.
Local Job Creation Tax Credit Offers eligible companies a tax credit against their local corporate earnings tax. This program is similar to the Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit, with the exceptions that the tax credit is granted at the local level and it is a non-refundable credit.
Butler County RLF Butler County’s Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) provides low interest loans for projects by private, for-profit businesses occurring in the County. Loans are made for property acquisition, construction, renovation, expansion, machinery, and equipment.
