Situated amid the rolling tree-covered hills of eastern Ohio, Columbiana County is a gateway to opportunity—a vibrant, growing area that is proud of its strong rural American values and rich historical traditions.
Columbiana County, located in the Cleveland-Pittsburgh industrial corridor, is a gateway to opportunity, offering employers and employees a location perfectly suited to serve the region’s cluster industries of aerospace, automotive, information technology, polymers, and metals. Out of Ohio’s 88 counties, Columbiana is ranked as the 8th largest agricultural county and the 16th largest industrial county.
Location and transportation assets make the county a natural distribution hub to service North American markets. Four-lane highways, rail access and choice of air service are key. The most important element of this multimodal mix is the county’s ability to utilize low-cost water transportation via Ohio’s largest river port system. A new river/rail terminal at the Wellsville Intermodal Facility (Ohio River Mile Post 49) helps move more than 15 million tons of maritime cargo a year through the county. Other advantages offered in Columbiana County are an available work force, a low cost of living, small-town quality of life (no cities over 25,000), and
economical energy resources. It all adds up to tremendous opportunities for companies looking for a place that likes to do business.
