As Cincinnati and Dayton continue to converge, West Chester has emerged as the economic center of the Cincinnati-Dayton Metroplex, the regional commerce corridor connecting the two major metropolitan areas. This super-region, with two international airports, ranks 18th in the nation with a population of over 3 million. The Cincinnati region ranks 13th in the nation for Fortune 500 companies.
West Chester’s strategic location in the heart of the Cincinnati-Dayton Metroplex provides companies access to an excellent primary labor market with a pool of nearly 1,700,000 professional, technical and manufacturing employees within a 30-minute drive time. West Chester has become an employment epicenter in the region with over 3,000 thriving businesses and over 50,000 employees.
Driving this employment growth are factors such as 3 of the 10 largest regional industrial parks are located in West Chester, as is a regional medical campus with a full-service hospital, 5 universities, along with the continued growth of the 7th largest public school system in Ohio, the nationally acclaimed Lakota Schools, ranking as Ohio’s largest “Excellent” school district eight years running.
