The City of Tallmadge recognizes the importance of all businesses to the economic health and stability of the community.  Attracting new businesses is very important goal, but retaining the businesses already located here, those that have a stake in the community and provide quality jobs for the local labor force, is the highest priority. 
 
In Tallmadge, up to 80% of job growth is generated by existing businesses. Therefore, identifying opportunities for business expansions and facilitating those plans is the preferred approach to sustaining and building the local economy and quality of life for Tallmadge residents.
