Economic Development & Air Park Location
 
The Clinton County Port Authority owns and operates the Wilmington Air Park. Specifically charged with economic development and job creation, Port Authorities in Ohio can take advantage of their legal authority to encourage and enhance economic development opportunities for businesses to start and grow. The Clinton County Port Authority (CCPA) was established in 2004 by the Clinton County Commissioners. The CCPA is a special purpose government formed to operate transportation infrastructure and lead economic development efforts. A primary function of the Clinton County Port Authority is the creation and retention of jobs in Wilmington and Clinton County.
 
 In 2009, the Wilmington Air Park’s owner, DHL, relocated its ground distribution services. In 2010, with the assistance of the City of Wilmington, Clinton County and the State of Ohio, the CCPA became the new owners of the Wilmington Air Park. Today the Clinton County Port Authority manages this premier Air Park location. CCPA works with regulatory agencies, development agencies and the community to bring new jobs and economic growth to the county. Local and state incentives are available to potential tenants interested in locating in the Air Park.
