When a company considers establishing a new operation, the ultimate decision regarding the right location is based upon the company’s bottom line. With an available and motivated workforce, affordable land and buildings, attractive development incentives and low operating costs, Athens County is well positioned to make business investments pay off. Ohio University, Hocking College and Tri-County Joint Vocational School are all located in Athens County, so outstanding educational and training opportunities are available for new and existing businesses.
