Graham Building 8995 East Main Street Reynoldsburg, OH 43068-3399 Phone: (614) 728-4937 Fax: (614) 466-6124 Email: ruraldev@agri.ohio.gov The Ohio Rural Development Partnership (ORDP) office, administered in cooperation with ODA, is a statewide organization that brings together citizens, the private sector, and federal, state, and local officials to address the needs of rural Ohio communities. The Partnership provides a forum for members of the agriculture industry, health care industry, educational institutions, economic and community development organizations, for-profit and non-profit corporations, and social service agencies to address special needs and opportunities in rural Ohio. Family Farm Loan Program The Partnership administers the Ohio Family Farm Loan Program, which helps farmers and agribusiness enterprises secure low interest loans to start or expand a farm or agribusiness. Since agriculture is a very capital-intensive industry, the program serves as an incentive to help those who may not be able to realize their aspirations by securing traditional financing options.
