NAIOP of Ohio President Mike Sikora testified in the House Finance Committee in support of Senate Bill 94, sponsored by Senators Andrew Brenner and Al Landis. This priority legislation for NAIOP of Ohio would modernize Ohio’s system of recording instruments and streamline the ability to complete real estate transactions. “Having the ability to record and access real property instruments electronically would provide a practical benefit to commercial real estate professionals throughout Ohio and the parties to real estate transactions, including sellers, buyers, lenders, and borrowers,” said Sikora. “Ohio needs to provide the ability to record and access real property records, electronically, to bring us into modern times throughout the State. Otherwise, we will fall behind other states, when it comes to a subject that is not difficult to address.” NAIOP Northern Ohio NAIOP #commercialrealestate #advocacy

NAIOP of Ohio Legislative Committee Vice-Chairman Christopher Knezevic represented the Board today by testifying during Ohio’s Joint Property Tax Review & Reform Committee hearing in Columbus. Acknowledging Ohio’s overly complex property tax laws, NAIOP of Ohio will continue to monitor legislation proposed to assess their impact on the economic development community. The organization is mindful that Tax Increment Financing and Community Reinvestment Areas are important tools used in economic development and remain active participants in discussions on any changes impacting those laws.

Congratulations to the NAIOP Dayton Chapter on a successful state legislator outreach gathering this morning at Miller Valentine Construction- Dayton. Grassroots engagement with our leaders is how we best highlight the opportunities that exist in Ohio’s economic development sector.
