AEP Ohio

The City of Hilliard, Ohio USA is attracting a next-generation workforce with TruePointe, a live-work-play development featuring homes, restaurants and office space. This roughly $250 million investment is expected to bring approximately 500 jobs to the community while helping Hilliard retain and attract local employers. Thanks to the community involvement of AEP Ohio’s economic development team, we were able to support the project early. Our economic development grant funded critical background research to confirm the site was a perfect fit for Hilliard's growth. That research helped bring TruePointe to life faster. Partnerships like this happen when our team is already involved in the communities we call home. We’re proud to support Hilliard and the work that’s building its future.

This year, through our Local Economic Advancement Program (LEAP) grants, AEP Ohio is donating more than $461,000 to 18 economic development organizations across the communities we serve. These grants will help the organizations plan their communities’ futures, prepare local industrial sites for new businesses and support creative ways to introduce their communities to existing and prospective employers.

This Arbor Day, the only thing our foresters love more than trees is keeping the power on. That’s why they work year-round, carefully managing growth by trimming and clearing trees that could threaten the reliability of your power. From beautiful redbuds and strong oaks to the state-favorite Ohio buckeye, hear directly from our foresters on which trees they love most. And learn more about the work they do at AEPOhio.com/Trees.
