FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ohio Statewide Development Corporation (OSDC) recognized Summit Therapy and Performance Center as its 2009 Project of the Year at its Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon held on February 12, 2010 at the River Club at Conference Park in Columbus, Ohio. Over 150 area lenders and economic development professionals attended the event that featured Douglas Garver, Executive Director of the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, as the keynote speaker.

In December 2006, Aaron Brumit, David Hofstetter and Kim Brown started Summit Therapy and Performance Center to provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, sports training and adult fitness services to residents in North Central Ohio. In 2009, Summit Therapy & Performance Center, built a new 7,000 s.f. facility located at 2150 Stumbo Road in Mansfield, Ohio to relocate their rapidly expanding practice that now includes home health care and a satellite clinic at the Mansfield YMCA.

Financing for the new building project was provided through a cooperative effort between the Ohio Statewide Development Corporation (OSDC) and National City Bank now a part of the PNC Financial Services Group. OSDC provides long-term, fixed rate financing, generally at lower interest rates, through loan programs under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Ohio Department of Development.

Initially Summit Therapy projected the expansion would create three new jobs within the first two years; however this job creation goal was met within the first six months and the business today employs fourteen.
