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.
