Romanchuk Praises Ohio's Ranking as Top State for Business

COLUMBUS—State Senator Mark Romanchuk (R-Ontario) applauds CNBC's recent study naming Ohio as the Top State for Business in the nation. 

"By continuing to focus on deregulation and creating a competitive economic environment, Ohio is now a powerhouse for business," said Senator Romanchuk. "Fostering business opportunity in Ohio has been a priority since I first ran for office, and I'm proud to see our state recognized for its business competitiveness. I look forward to continuing to pursue policies that make Ohio the best place to work, live, and raise a family."

Since 2007, CNBC has scored all 50 states on 138 metrics in 10 broad categories of competitiveness. The study focuses on identifying the factors companies consider when making site selection decisions and where states are focusing their economic development efforts to win jobs and business. In addition to being ranked as the number one overall state, Ohio also took the top spot in infrastructure as well as in the cost of doing business.
