Economic development is a complicated process that has many ways to assist businesses looking to grow. Friday, Allen County Commissioners, the Allen Economic Development Group, the Port Authority of Allen County, the county engineer, and the Ohio Department of Transportation representatives met to discuss road infrastructure. It was related to Procter & Gamble's $500,000,000 expansion of a new scent bead plant. The Allen Economic Development Group and others have worked to obtain federal and grant dollars to fund a portion of a roundabout on Thayer Road for Procter & Gamble's truck entrance.
