Central Ohio has long been the economic engine of the State of Ohio. The State Capital, one of the largest universities in the country, reasonable costs of living, comparatively low crime rates and a vibrant community combined with thriving passenger and freight airlines, a well developed Interstate system and rail connections, and a close proximity to other major metro areas all contribute to the Central Ohio area being a thriving place to do business.

Here are some 2015 forecasts for Central Ohio from a variety of resources:

Ohio Department of Transportation – They are forecasting a 5 year construction cost inflation rate of 1.5%, and a positive outlook for 2015.

The Columbus Dispatch – Reported on an expected increase in Central Ohio employment of 2.1%, slightly ahead of the country as a whole.

Electrical Contractor Magazine – Is forecasting increased construction in nearly every sector of the building marketplace.

Columbus Business First – Reports a projected increase in employment in Central Ohio of 1.5%

 The NAIOP  – Reports that demand for industrial space shows no signs of letting up.
