Enterprise Appalachia: The Ideal Location Choice for Entrepreneurs
Ohio's 32 Appalachian counties are well-known for their beautiful scenery, rich culture, and timeless traditions; they also boast a welcoming business climate, skilled workers with a strong work ethic, and an affordable cost of living. The traditional assets that have been the foundation of the Appalachian region's economy for centuries are supporting new and emerging opportunities for the region today.
Enterprise Appalachia, an initiative developed by the Governor's Office of Appalachia, was created specifically to help make entrepreneurs aware of all the benefits and resources the region provides.
Choosing a location is an important strategic choice, one that should be based on a thorough consideration of established criteria and relevant data. Entrepreneurs must set aside stereotypes, prejudices, and preconceived notions and make the choice based on solid, accurate information. Enterprise Appalachia is all about offering the useful insights and resources that can help you make the choice.
The website offers access to a wide range of resources offered by the region, including Capital; Knowledge & Labor ; Supply Chain; Markets; Life Balance; and much more.
For today's capital investor, every dollar is a precious commodity. The more investment capital that actually makes it to product development and commercialization, the greater is the probability of success, and the faster is the return on investment. That's why site selection is so critically important. The ideal location maximizes the value of the investment by delivering a perfect balance between access to mission-critical resources and low overhead costs—a balance that can be found in Appalachia.
