Accelerating Ohio’s Auto Industry (AOAI) – Senate Bill 307
Automakers have pledged to invest $330 billion on electric vehicle production by 2025. Manufacturers are deciding now where to site those facilities, and therefore where the jobs will be. Ohio has always been an auto manufacturing state, and over 108,000 Ohioans are currently employed in the industry. To maintain this vital part of Ohio’s economy, we must demonstrate to automakers that we are serious about remaining a strong partner to the auto industry as it shifts to EV production. The Accelerating Ohio’s Auto Industry (AOAI) bill will send a strong signal to the industry that Ohio is all in on EVs. CFO hopes to organize a Ride & Drive at the Statehouse at 1:30pm on a Wednesday in May to encourage legislators. Watch this space if you’d like to bring your EV!
