Ohio's Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) program is one of the state's most powerful CRE incentives, providing 100% property tax abatement on improvements for up to 15 years for qualifying commercial projects. The state's Tax Increment Financing program and Job Creation Tax Credit further enhance CRE development economics.
