Economic Factors:
Located in the heart of the industrial Midwest, Northwest Ohio has built a strong manufacturing base in glass, plastic, primary metal and fabricated metal products, as well as automotive assembly and parts production.
Toledo's central location to major Midwest cities such as Chicago, Pittsburg, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, St Louis, Buffalo and Toronto, coupled with its world class transportation infrastructure, gives it unparalleled access to the Midwest market. Located at the crossroads of Interstate 75, 80 and 90, the Northwest Ohio region is within a day's drive of nearly half the U.S. and Canadian industrial markets and is ideally situated for businesses to reach customers and suppliers throughout the Midwest.
That access to the Great Lakes, combined with the region's international cargo hub, and one of the leading rail centers in the country, makes Northwest Ohio a global platform for doing business anywhere in the world.
State and Local Business Climate
Industries that historically have supported the area include farming, industrial
production, transportation and warehousing. A strong agricultural base
- fostered by farming communities that harvest corn, wheat, soybeans, tomatoes,
pickles, and more - has promoted the growth of food production, distribution
and transportation throughout the region. The region’s industries
include both small and large companies, all supported by highly trained
workers.
