Ohio

A leader in capital investment

Attracting more capital investment than any other state in the nation, Ohio is known for its reduced taxes, strong incentive packages and skilled workforce. In fact, Site Selection ranked Ohio No. 3 nationally overall for total economic development projects in its 2026 Governor’s Cup rankings, holding that spot for the fourth consecutive year; and No. 6 nationally for projects per capita. Ohio also earned the number two spot for total projects overall, making it the only state to place in the top three in both categories.

As competition becomes more global, Ohio’s central location and strength in transportation, distribution and logistics affords companies the ability to maximize flexibility while reducing supply-chain costs. Ohio is within 600 miles of 62 percent of all U.S. and Canadian manufacturing locations and is home to port, air, river, rail and interstate transportation linking all North American and global markets.

With a central location, skilled workforce and strong incentive packages, Ohio means business.

Ohio’s Other Economic Advantages Include:

  • A strong, growing workforce
  • Easy market access
  • A lower tax burden
  • Enterprise zones
  • Community reinvestment areas
  • Low interest financing assistance
