Summary:In the last few years, DP&L has invested millions in a wide range of projects designed to create and keep jobs in local communities, efforts that provide a strong economic base for future growth. Since 2011, these efforts have initiated more than 19,000 jobs, retained 51,000 more, and helped convert vacant commercial properties into active business space. Since 2014, DP&L has invested to help local communities make potential commercial sites build ready, meaning infrastructure, zoning and other critical build components are already in place. With a Foundation grant, Clothes that Work expanded its educational and job readiness programs for job seekers and Goodwill Easter Seals’ Miami Valley Works helps the unemployed and under employed learn new skills to help put them on the path to financial independence and stability.
