Thanks to the team @BedrockCLE and @RocketArena for being such great hosts and for your continued investment in Cleveland, Ohio! 🙌🏻

[Governor Mike DeWine @GovMikeDeWine]

This morning, @LtGovJimTressel and I kicked off our Heart of Opportunity Tour at Rocket Arena in Cleveland to celebrate Ohio’s place atop @CNBC's list of America’s Top States for Business. Our panelists included Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik and Team NEO CEO Matt Dolan.

The Northeast Ohio region continues to see strong momentum, including Sherwin-Williams’ new downtown Cleveland headquarters, Ford adding 2,000 new jobs, and Flexjet adding 976 new jobs, to name just a few. We’re also cleaning up brownfield sites to make them economically viable, preserving our historic sites, and investing in our lakefront so Ohioans have an even better place to work, live, and raise a family.
