The City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg
Township were founding members of the
Wood County Economic Development Commission
when this successful public-private
partnership was born in 1993. In the subsequent
17 years the investment has paid off
handsomely for the Perrysburg area. The
WCEDC has attracted over 2,000 new jobs
to the Perrysburg area (city and township),
and an aggregate new investment of $1 billion.
Amongst the more visible developments

“We’re willing to explore a client’s ideas and combine
their thoughts with ours to develop an approach
that makes sense for them,” says Brian
Fowler, Creative Director. “That means understanding
the culture of their organization and the
uniqueness of their products or services so we can
best position the organization.”
“It’s a team approach,” says Mr. Venzel. “Our
clients have a unique perspective on their business
and industry. We combine that with our 23 years of
marketing and advertising expertise to form a
strong team that offers great results. When I think
back on our years of working with clients, the
thing that comes to mind are the relationships
we’ve built with them.” Venzel Communications is

Kazmaier’s Five Star Market is a familiar
name in the Perrysburg community. Established
in 1898, Kazmaier’s has been providing
quality foods to Perrysburg residents for
more than 100 years.
Family owned and operated, Kazmaier’s
has been at its present location at 127 East
Second Street, since 1963. An additional store
is located on Perrysburg-Holland Road in
Maumee. Currently, there are 45 employees
at the Perrysburg store.
Kazmaier’s holds a unique place in the
Perrysburg community. Store employees become
familiar with many local residents who
frequent the store, and often greet customers
by name. “We pride ourselves in being a
neighborhood establishment that knows many
of the customers who visit the store,” said

are provided by experienced butchers with
many years of service to Kazmaier’s. Kazmaier’s

through annual dues payments which are accounted
for separately. The WCEDC is a
proud partner in progress with Perrysburg
(township and city).
