Ohio Wins Site Selection Magazine’s Governor’s Cup
The state of Ohio won Site Selection magazine’s Governor’s cup for the third year in a row. Leading the effort was Cincinnati, which was named the 4th most active metro for companies with 124 active investment development projects.
The Ohio Department Of Development has funded more than 3,600 economic and community development projects assisting in the creation of more than 53,000 jobs and retaining 195,000 jobs. Currently, about 800 economic development projects are in the pipeline, which could leverage an $15 billion in private investments, creating an additional 30,000 jobs and retaining an additional 50,000.
Cincinnati leads the state in these projects with 124, and is #4 across the country. The economic development projects include big name developments such as the banks, and smaller community based efforts. Cincinnati has succeeded in attracting investment because of its educated population, high quality of life and low cost of living.
