Sen. Husted’s Support of Trump Administration Policies Risks Nearly 32,000 Ohio Jobs

October 21, 2026
New BlueGreen Alliance research has found that, because of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA)—which Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) proudly voted for—manufacturing, energy, and industrial sites across the state are facing a more difficult economic landscape. This is because that bill made changes to existing clean energy and manufacturing tax incentives—which developers were planning on—making them harder to receive.

We’ve found:
  • 21 projects at sites across the state have been delayed or canceled.
    • These delays and cancellations could impact 7,394 jobs and could cost the state $4.6 billion in capital investment.
  • Sites representing $18.1 billion in capital investment are impacted by the changes to tax incentives.
    • These new tax credit restrictions could impact 22,940 jobs across the state.
