Eastern Ohio Development Alliance: Jefferson County

Jefferson County

Profile:
Jefferson County, Ohio is just a few miles "across the bridge" from one of this country's major commercial and industrial centers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In Jefferson County, you'll find low taxes, commercial and industrial sites at a fraction of the cost, lower Workers Compensation rates, a talented and available labor force, affordable housing, and all the infrastructure, support, and resources that growing companies need. Wal-Mart saw our many advantages and is now completing construction of a new 880,000 sq. ft. distribution center on State Route 43. This $75 million investment will create 600 jobs.

It's easy to see why so many employers and employees are discovering Jefferson County. Our quality of life won the community a ranking in Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live 2000" list and earned Reader's Digest's "50 Best Places to Raise a Family" honors.

CEO Testimonial:
