Ohio Tops Nation for Infrastructure and Economic Development Investment
September 3, 2024
Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, the Ohio Department of Development, and JobsOhio are proud to announce that for the second straight year, Ohio has been ranked Number One in the Global Groundwork Index by Site Selection magazine, based on a comprehensive analysis of job creation, capital expenditures, and strategic infrastructure development from 2020 through July 2024.
"Ohio continues to lead the nation in the Global Groundwork Index because our public sector infrastructure investments lay the groundwork for economic growth," said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. "We’re preparing large-scale sites for industrial development, expanding our skilled workforce, and fortifying our energy, telecom, transportation, and water infrastructure so that Ohio is always at the top of the list for businesses looking to start up or expand.”
