In the spring of 2007 fDi Magazine, a prestigious British publication, named Toledo the Most Business Friendly City in North America. With a good reason. Toledo has been a major manufacturing center for years producing some of the world’s most well-known brands. It is also a strategic transportation center with the nation’s third-busiest rail hub and an active Great Lakes port. Major economic development projects in the area combined with other projects undertaken by the city total approximately $6.5 billion in new investment in the community. Economic development professionals from around the city are poised to help new and existing businesses. A number of public and private organizations in Toledo and the surrounding area are dedicated to creating an environment, in which businesses can thrive.
