Located on the banks of the Huron River, in northwest Huron County, Ohio, Monroeville is only eight (8) miles south of the Ohio Turnpike (I-90) and is in close proximity to U.S. Route 20 (east-west) and U.S. Routes 4 and 250 (north-south). Our prime location provides convenient access and quick commutes to cities throughout the area, as well as adjacent states. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is less than an hour from the Village and destinations such as Milwaukee, WI; Syracuse, NY; and Harrisburg, PA; can all be driven in less than 7 hours.

Monroeville offers a peaceful, friendly, rural lifestyle, yet its proximity provides the benefits of the exciting renaissance, redevelopment and revitalization of the Northeast Ohio Region’s four-plus major metropolitan areas (Cleveland, Akron, Canton and Youngstown), creating the 15th largest market in the United States. The region is represented by Team Northeast Ohio (Team NEO), one of Ohio’s most dynamic and innovative economic development partnerships representing the eighteen (18) counties that comprise Northeast Ohio and includes:

• Approximately 800 world business headquarters

Northeast Ohio’s central location reaches the largest number of consumers in a 250-mile/400-km radius compared with any other metro market in the U.S.

Competitive utility service and real estate cost makes industrial development in this area a high-value proposition. We operate our own municipal utilities – water, wastewater, and electric distribution, an advantage to our residents and businesses because they are governed locally, and when there is need for assistance, we are your neighbor – willing to assist you quickly. We work with American Municipal Power (AMP) and fellow communities to obtain electricity at the best rate possible. We, then, provide and maintain the distribution lines locally. In addition, it is anticipated that fiber optic internet will be coming to the Village in 2023!

The Village has proven to be a successful mix for many and is open for businesses and people looking for that special right location for them.
