Why the Cincinnati Region?
"Why Cincinnati? Why Evendale? And really, there was no decision to make; when you're home, you're home. We're very comfortable declaring that to the world."
"The Cincinnati region is in an 'ideal economic situation' thanks to competitive state income tax rates, which hover around five percent, compared to nine percent in places like Connecticut. And as momentum builds around projects like the Amazon hub at CVG, steadily low commercial rents will help us compete with expensive markets like Charlotte, Nashville, and even NYC.”
"REDI Cincinnati's laser focus on quantifiable impact, combined with its ability to partner seamlessly with local business and community leaders, makes it an economic development powerhouse. The results speak for themselves: in its first decade, REDI Cincinnati created nearly 43,000 new jobs and generated $5.6 billion in capital investments across southwest Ohio. This transformative impact has added $2.4 billion in payroll—a testament to REDI's commitment to cultivating a thriving community and driving growth and opportunity.”
“There is strong collaboration within the Cincinnati region’s business community and REDI plays a key role in forging connections. We appreciate and rely on their partnership and diligent commitment to growing the regional footprint, which creates a larger customer base for us to serve.”
