Area businesses have dozens of reasons for choosing the Corridor

“I have been employed at Fairfield Medical Center for 22 years. From the first time I visited the area, I was impressed by its beauty and friendliness. It is small enough to be able to get acquainted and large enough to find the things you need to live and work here. The community is supportive of the needs of our hospital and we have been able to form partnerships to get things done in the best, most cost effective ways for the common good. There is a willing workforce here who take pride in what they do.”

“I was raised in this area and feel that this community is a great place for our employees to bring up a family, without the hustle and bustle of the larger cities. In the process of establishing a technology company in Lancaster, many said that it couldn’t be done, and that I should look to Columbus. Lancaster has been going through growing pains over the past 20 years and technology is starting to take hold, while still maintaining the small town feel. As we have continued our growth, we are now being noticed by many of the local residents who thought they had to travel to the larger cities for well-paying technology positions. We currently employ residents from all the surrounding counties and beyond. One of the comments that we encounter quite frequently is when clients ask, incredulously, ‘…and you’re based in Lancaster, Ohio?’ “

“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to expand our business in Lancaster. Mayor Dave Smith and his staff have been very helpful and welcomed us with open arms. We expect to enjoy a great relationship for many years to come. In combination with the city and state, Anchor Hocking, as the city’s leading corporate citizen, also played a critical role in our decision to choose the Fairfield 33 Corridor by providing access to the necessary property.”

“Fairfield County has provided us with the central location needed to attract a skilled workforce. There is an excellent vendor population here that supports our specialty trade of custom cabinetry and fixture manufacturing. With good roads and highways, our company has easy access to a major metropolitan area that provides a network of freight companies, which can meet our national and international shipping requirements.”

“My wife and I purchased Martin Partitions in Carroll in September 2007. We are very pleased with the quality of the existing workforce. We have also found an excellent pool of workers for both full and part time positions. Our experience in Fairfield County to date says we will have no problem supporting our aggressive growth targets.“

“Ohio University serves as a major resource for the Lancaster community and for Diamond Power. Through the advanced learning opportunities offered to employees, the specialized training programs developed, and outreach services available, the university provides key support to employees, our company and the overall community.”
