Ohio Ranks Number One in Global Groundwork Index by Site Selection Magazine

Governor Mike DeWine, Lt Governor Jon Husted, Ohio Department of Development, and JobsOhio are proud to announce that Ohio has been ranked number one in the Global Groundwork Index by Site Selection magazine based on an analysis of job creation, capital expenditures, and strategic infrastructure development from 2019 through July 2023.

"Ohio ranks Number One in the Global Groundwork Index because we recognize the importance of making strategic investments today that will impact Ohio's future," said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. "This winning formula includes preparing large-scale sites for industrial development, fortifying infrastructure statewide, nurturing our skilled workforce, streamlining regulatory processes, and collaborating with private industry. Ohio is committed to maintaining this momentum with support from $1.5 billion in our operating budget dedicated to new investments in industrial sites, water infrastructure, brownfield redevelopment, building demolition and site revitalization, and rural industrial parks."
