Exceptional quality of life combined with an outstanding business environment are reasons why Northeast Ohio’s Mahoning County is a great place to live and work.

Established March 1, 1846, Mahoning County today is a mixture of urban, suburban and rural communities. With a population of 240,420 (2007 Population Estimates, U.S. Census), the county’s diverse economy is a center for advanced manufacturing, distribution, retail, business service and governmental activities. Its “just in time” location and infrastructure make the “Mahoning Valley” very attractive to those quickly needing to reach customers and suppliers.

Mahoning County’s economic development initiatives are proactive and aggressive. By investing in infrastructure and providing incentives, county officials are attracting new firms while helping existing ones to grow. Enterprise, Hub and Foreign-Trade Zones, combined with low interest loans and tax credits, are readily available.

Mahoning County is home to Youngstown State University (enrollment of 12,300), which is renowned in a variety of fields of study and as four-time national champions in NCAA 1-AA football. In addition, the county boasts a very low cost of living, making education, housing, recreation and entertainment extremely affordable.

In 2007 the total employment for all industries in Mahoning County was 104,480.
