Ohio is still the #1 choice for
capital investment.

Congratulations to Ohio's business and economic development community. For the second straight year, Site Selection has awarded its prestigious Governor's Cup to Ohio, recognizing it as the nation's leading state for business expansion.

The Governor's Cup is awarded to the state with the most new or expanded capital projects during the previous year. In 2007, Ohio marked 399 new corporate facilities and expansions, over 30 more than Illinois, the second-place finisher. Among the most notable development projects were Amylin Pharmaceuticals' new manufacturing facility in West Chester and Goodyear Tire and Rubber's expansion in Akron.

Ohio's leadership team has pledged its continued support, continually improving Ohio's business climate to help Ohio businesses be even more competitive. Ohio is an ideal choice for capital investment now and for years to come!
