Mahoning River Corridor of Opportunity

 

Imagine your company situated within a premier 1,470+ acre site...

 

Zoned for industry with infrastructure already in place, the Mahoning River Corridor of Opportunity lies within a day's reach of more than half of the markets of North America.

 

Directly accessible to the Interstate Highway System, it boasts excellent rail access and a full-service Norfolk & Southern rail yard. Additionally, it is anchored at east and west by thriving, successful industrial parks.

 

This premier piece of property is located just minutes from the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line in the Enterprise Zone communities of Campbell, Struthers and Youngstown. Two national railroad companies as well as two shortline railroads traverse the site; shipping is also available via ports on the Ohio River (35 miles south) and Lake Erie (65 miles north).

 

Redevelopment programs in place include tax credits for purchases of new equipment and machinery for companies who qualify and Ohio's Voluntary Action Program, making the redevelopment of brownfields for industrial use economically attractive.

The Mahoning River Corridor of Opportunity has much to offer!

Sixty-five percent of all U.S. manufacturing is within 500 miles of the three Mahoning Valley communities of Youngstown, Campbell and Struthers. For their work force needs, newcomers to the valley are finding a skilled labor pool, already experienced in manufacturing and 24-hour production. Their families are experiencing fine educational opportunities, excellent health care, the fine arts, sports and recreation accessible for all. The cost of living and housing costs in this area are well below the national average. The Mahoning Valley leads the nation in brownfield clean-up and redevelopment and has received recognition at both the state and national levels for successfully transforming such sites into thriving industrial parks. Additionally, Ohio's Voluntary Action Program progressively addresses and assists with environmental issues to alleviate any concerns. The success of Youngstown's Performance Place to the west and the Struthers-based CASTLO Industrial Park to the east prove the Mahoning River Corridor's potential as a favorable home for industry. Local and state officials, utility company representatives, economic development officials and private landowners are all working as a team on the development of new access roads throughout the corridor so that all sections of the site will be even more convenient than they already are. Additionally, FirstEnergy Corporation, Dominion East Ohio, Aqua Ohio, Inc. and the three municipalities and Mahoning County are ready to work with you to ensure that all your needs will be met.
