BY JEREMY NOBILE Mirroring a national trend, Ohio’s commercial and per- sonal bankruptcy filings continued to plunge in 2015, hitting a multi-year low in response to factors in- cluding a generally stronger economy and a prolonged low-interest rate environment. But that could change this year, partic- ularly for corporate filings tied to more unstable industry sectors, like oil and gas, which many businesses in this region are exposed to. According to the American Bank- ruptcy Institute, all filings in the Unit- ed States fell 10% in the 2015 calendar year from 2014. That includes a 14% annual drop in commercial filings and 10% drop for consumers. Those 819,285 commercial and personal bankruptcies filed in calendar year 2015 are the fewest filings logged nationwide SEE BANKRUPTCY, PAGE 12 DANIEL HERTZBERG Global Center out Local donors back to reduce vacancy BY JAY MILLER reach.
