Prosperity

The central Ohio region is adding jobs and receiving national recognition as a leader in logistics and technology.  The region is at the crossroads of the nation and has the luxury of extensive air, highway and freight rail systems.  These infrastructure systems are aging and in need of new finance mechanisms. The changing dynamics of industry require intermodal connectivity, and regional leaders are connecting with state and national policy makers through efforts such as MORPC’s Transportation Summit to advance alternative funding policies.
