Ohio: maker and mover

Article Abstract:

Ohio owes its present economic advantage not only to its big cities but to its small towns and rural areas as well. What makes easy and accessible transport possible in Ohio are its National Road, its Lake Erie ports, its efficient rail service and more than 180 public airports. Unsurprisingly, Ohio is thus the leading producer of auto parts and components, the second largest manufacturer and the second largest exporter in the US. Ohio's strategic location, large consumer market, low housing and health care costs and tax incentives also make it an ideal industrial hub.
