In 1973 the non-profit corporation LICCO Incorporated was established to perform the employer functions for Board eligible adults. LICCO Inc., in partnership with the Board, provided services using the sheltered workshop model with support from area manufacturing companies. In naming new non-profit workshops, counties throughout Ohio — with some exceptions — tended to adopt names that were part of their individual county names, with “CO” (short for “county”) at the end, thus LICCO. In Licking County, the name LICCO came to refer to both the workshop and the Board’s adult services program.
