Ohio ranks in Top 10 for business climate

Site Selection has named Ohio among the top 10 U.S. states with the best business climate, according to the magazine’s November issue.

Ohio ranked No. 7 for Top Business Climate, dropping from fifth place in 2014.

Officials said 50 percent of the overall business climate ranking is based on a survey of corporate site selectors who are asked to rank the states based on their recent experience of locating facilities in them. Ohio ranked 11th in the executive survey.

The other 50 percent is based on an index of seven criteria, including performance in Site Selection’s annual Competitiveness ranking, where Ohio ranked ninth.

In March, Site Selection magazine ranked the Dayton region second in the nation for capital investment attraction in 2014.
