Ohio's Electric Cooperative Current

August 2022

Over 1,000 acres of prime, immediately developable land ideally suited for ecommerce, distribution center, and manufacturing uses.

As companies recalibrate their supply chain to gain better control of materials and supplies, distribution center locations in exurban Ohio can be part of the solution that helps businesses increase resiliency and stabilize supply chain costs.

“We’re already seeing more and more projects scattered throughout Ohio.”

Transportation infrastructure expansion means many more exurban sites are now on the radar of site selection consultants for distribution center locations.

The City of Union is directly accessible by two of the nation’s interstate highways (I-70 and I-75).

Ohio’s workforce is a national leader in logistics.

Ohio ranks as the fifth highest state in the nation in warehousing and storage services. Trucking employment ranks No. 2 in the Midwest, No. 4 in the U.S.

Cooperatives are a member-controlled source of reliable, affordable power. Local electric cooperatives automotive manufacturing plants with peak power loads exceeding 40 megawatts, many mega distribution centers, Fortune 500 food processing, agriculture production, and biofuels manufacturing throughout Ohio.

Best-in-class infrastructure connects Ohio to the world.
Ohio is connected to the rest of the world via land, air, and water. That flexibility of choice and cost savings are among the top reasons Ohio’s infrastructure is one of the best in the U.S.
