WARREN, Ohio – Organizations have one week remaining to be featured in The Business Journal’s 2026 Growth Report as the submission deadline approaches.
The Growth Report is The Business Journal’s most-read publication each year and serves as a yearlong reference for business leaders, investors, policymakers and community partners across the region. The report examines economic trends, recent progress and future direction for the Mahoning Valley.
This year, The Business Journal will publish only one Growth Report edition, scheduled for release Feb. 24. As a result, this is the only opportunity for organizations to be included in the 2026 report.
Organizations can participate by submitting a story or reserving advertising space.
Story submissions are free and allow organizations to outline growth from the past year, highlight key successes and share plans for 2026, including community impact. Submissions are limited to 500 words and will be edited for news style. Promotional language will be removed.
Story submissions are due Feb. 9 and should be emailed to growth@business-journal.com. Submissions can include a high-resolution photo with a caption. Story submission instructions are available HERE.
Organizations can also reserve advertising space in the Growth Report, which provides visibility alongside stories from economic and community development groups, nonprofits, educational institutions and professional organizations.
Advertising deadlines are Feb. 16. Rates are available HERE.
The Business Journal is encouraging organizations involved in regional growth to meet upcoming deadlines to ensure inclusion in the 2026 Growth Report.
