§ 5709.69.
If an enterprise operating in a county or municipal corporation in this state intends
to relocate or relocates part or all of its operations to another county or municipal
corporation in this state and has entered into or intends to enter into an agreement
under section 5709.62 , 5709.63 , or 5709.632 of the Revised Code with that county or municipal corporation, the legislative authority or an officer
of the county or municipal corporation to which the enterprise intends to relocate
or relocates shall serve the legislative authority of the county or municipal corporation
from which the enterprise intends to relocate or relocates with notice of the enterprise's
intention to relocate, accompanied by a copy of the agreement to be entered into or
entered into pursuant to section 5709.62 , 5709.63 , or 5709.632 of the Revised Code and a statement of the enterprise's reasons for relocation. The legislative authority or officer also shall serve such notice upon the director
of development. In both cases, service shall be by personal service or certified mail, return receipt
requested, not later than thirty days prior to the day of the first public meeting
at which the agreement is deliberated by the legislative authority of the county or
municipal corporation to which the enterprise intends to relocate or relocates. With the approval of the director of development, service shall be not later than
fifteen days prior to the day of the first public meeting of the legislative authority
at which the agreement is deliberated. The legislative authority or officer required to serve notice shall seek such approval
by applying to the director at the earliest possible time prior to that meeting. The director may approve the later service if the director determines that earlier
notice is not possible or would be likely to jeopardize realization of the project. If approval for a later notice is applied for, the legislative authority or officer
need not serve notice to the director as otherwise required by this section. If the legislative authority or officer required to serve such notices fails to do
so as prescribed by this section, the legislative authority shall not enter into an
agreement under those sections with that enterprise. This section applies only to relocations of operations that result or would result
in the reduction of employment or the cessation of operations at a place of business
in this state.
