Investments In Your Future and Ours

Wayne County's highly skilled workforce, diverse and growing economy and numerous industrial site and building opportunities provide businesses with unique opportunities for location and expansion.  

Recognizing that additional factors work to facilitate and support business operations in the county, and contribute to the well-being of its communities and residents, Wayne County is also committed to maintaining and expanding a strong system of infrastructure that provides a foundation for further business expansion. 

Unique to Wayne County is a comprehensive plan that strives to concentrate development in areas already served with infrastructure.  This reduces sprawl and saves money for both government and business. More importantly, it preserves another important infrastrucutre component of Wayne County - open space and agricultural land - which serves a growing agbioscience economy and maintains open spaces as a source of competitive advantage.

The county is supported in its efforts by the State of Ohio which has a strong focus on strengthening its physical infrastructure, with particular attention to connecting businesses with their markets, and citizens with their communities.
