Regional Economic Development Directors

Lima Office (Region 3)

Welcome to Ohio’s “Auto Alley”. Our strategic position on Interstate 75, and the strong work ethic of this region, make us a perfect location for Tier I and Tier II suppliers to the assembly plants of Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and Honda.

West Central Ohio is also home to many of the largest petrochemical companies in the United States. Marathon Petroleum, INEOS, Husky Lima Refinery, BOC Gases and Akzo Nobel Chemicals are a large part of our industrial atmosphere.

We are also known for the manufacture of many things in addition to automotive and petrochemical products. In fact, every football ever used in an NFL Super bowl game was made right here in Ohio’s heartland.

If you are looking for valuable demographic information about the West Central Ohio region as a whole, please see the featured link to your right. You can also find information on the individual counties and communities located within West Central Ohio.
