Economic Development

The Northwestern Water and Sewer District plays a pivotal role in economic development by providing essential water and sewer infrastructure that promotes commercial, industrial, and residential growth. Through its Engineering Department and ongoing master planning, The District collaborates with local governments, state agencies, and economic development organizations to extend services, secure funding, and prepare sites for projects of any size. This support aligns with land use plans, focusing on responsible expansion along key corridors like Interstate 75 and the Ohio Turnpike, while ensuring environmental compliance and cost efficiency.

The District works closely with developers and builders to streamline commercial and industrial projects, emphasizing early coordination to “get projects started right.”

The District’s involvement with multiple organizations, both public and private, drives economic vitality by reducing barriers to entry for projects of all sizes, improving watershed quality to attract investment and jobs in Northwestern Ohio.
