These tax credits are a key opportunity for Everstream to continue to build our team in Northeast Ohio and welcome our first team members in the Columbus region,” said Brett Lindsey, president and chief executive officer, Everstream.

- Central Ohio: Everstream plans to create 40 new, full-time positions, generating $3 million in new annual payroll. Columbus will be a new market for Everstream.
“Everstream’s decision to expand in Cleveland and launch new operations in the Columbus Region demonstrates their confidence in Ohio to grow its network and fiber footprint,” said Ted Griffith, JobsOhio managing director for information technology. “Along with our regional and local partners, we are excited 90 more Ohioans will play an essential role serving Everstream’s increasing customer base throughout the Midwest.”
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority reviews applications for tax credit assistance for projects that can bring jobs and investment to Ohio. JobsOhio recommended the tax credit to the TCA.
