March 1, 2024
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Ohio Department of Development, and JobsOhio, the state’s private nonprofit economic development corporation, are proud to report that Ohio ranked among the top three states for overall economic development projects in Site Selection's 2024 Governor's Cup ranking. These projects were well distributed across the state, yielding top rankings for Ohio cities in virtually every size and category of metropolitan area rated.
Site Selection, a leading corporate real estate economic development magazine, announced that Ohio secured the #3 spot for overall projects and the #5 position for per capita investments in its 2024 rankings. Over the last six years, Ohio is the only state that has consistently achieved top-5 rankings in both categories. Ohio's widespread prominence is undeniable, boasting several top-10 cities and the highest number of top-100 micropolitans – populations between 10K and 50K –among all 50 states.
