Rolling Hills, green
forests, lush valleys and scenic waterways. SciotoCounty is located in south central Ohio -- the first region of Ohio to be settled and rich with
tradition. Its pioneer heritage has created a strong and proud work ethic
among its citizens who are renowned for their honesty and loyalty and also
their craftsmanship and professionalism. These proud people consistently
turn their productivity into profitability for businesses located within
this region.
Once a thriving river
port and steel town, Portsmouth,
the county seat, is revitalizing its economy through technological
advances, improved educational opportunities and tourism. State-of-the-art
companies in varying industries such as plastics, vinyl windows and
welding, are starting to find a home in our rural setting. Companies who
have been located here for a long time are finding expansion opportunities,
including Sunoco Chemicals (formerly Aristech) and OSCO Industries. Ohio's youngest university, ShawneeState,
is expanding quickly. The beautiful campus and excellent degree programs
offer students a positive outlook for the future. From breath-taking murals
painted on the floodwall to ShawneeStateForest,
there are many tourist attractions within the county. A proposed
interstate, along with our current air, rail, water and highway
transportation networks offer businesses excellent outlets to markets
around the world.
A necessary ingredient for any
business is a good environment for its people. The rich quality of life
present in south central Ohio
makes it an attractive place to work, live and raise a family. The hills,
valleys and rolling plains are blessed with an abundance of natural
resources for relaxation and recreation.
We invite you to
explore the opportunities present in SciotoCounty.
