That’s how Business Facilities magazine described Northwest Ohio after a discussion with Regional Growth Partnership President and CEO Dean Monske.
Recognizing this region’s diverse economy, its prime location in the Midwest market, and a vibrant transportation network, Monske touted these assets as key advantages in attracting new investment.
“We can easily make a case that Northwest Ohio is the ideal location for companies needing to distribute product,” he said.
Business Facilities specializes in the site selection marketplace, communicating to C-level executives and economic development organizations to assist, highlight and provide data for location decisions.
Within the article, Monske praises Northwest Ohio’s committed and dedicated workforce, alluding to a Midwest mentality of people wanting to continuously learn, train and adapt to new technologies.
“We have dozens of testimonials from businesses that have chosen to locate here or expand operations, saying that a primary reason for that decision was our area’s strong and talented workforce.”

He continued in emphasizing unique programs put forth by JobsOhio that the RGP has utilized to the benefit of companies doing projects in Northwest Ohio. Included is the Ohio Site inventory Program offering grants and low-interest loans to support speculative site and building development projects. Also, the JobsOhio Small Business Grant provides financial support to minority businesses and companies in distressed communities.
