Ohio and Franklin County

Ohio - The Buckeye State

Ohio, the seventh most populous state, has more than 11.5 million people, with the population living in both rural and metropolitan areas. With 88 counties, Ohio is unique in that its regions and inhabitants have many influences from Appalachia, the Midwest, and the East Coast. Once purely an agricultural state, Ohio now has a diverse amount of industries from manufacturing to automotive to technology and retail.

Because of its central location in the United States, Ohio is in close proximity to much of the nation, making it a logistics hub. For example, Columbus is a 10-hour drive from almost 50% of U.S. markets. This makes Ohio desirable for companies to do business in – which brings people and dollars into the state.

Ohio is also a destination for tourists. There were more than 220 million visits to Ohio in 2018, and $46 billion in sales, according to Tourism Ohio. As a major economic driver, Ohio’s main destinations include its three world-class cities – Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati—as well as its Lake Erie shoreline and islands and Southeast Ohio including the Hocking Hills and Appalachian foothills.
