BUILDING ON THE
BENEFITS
For businesses considering expansion or re-
location, this Ohio area has long been re-
nowned for being business-friendly, and in
Sharonville, one will encounter professionals
particularly hospitable and helpful. While
that kind of support suggests some measure
of benefit, the fact remains that there are
many other benefits to be enjoyed. For one,
Sharonville has some of the lowest local real
estate taxes within Hamilton County. The
City, itself, doesn’t even have a real estate
tax, which reduces the millage collected, and
certainly adds to the potential for locating a
business.
It’s proximity to major interstate cor-
ridors is also beneficial, but to put that in na-
tional context, Sharonville is located within
600 miles of more than 40 percent of this na-
tion’s population, as well as the nation’s pur-
chasing power, and almost half of America’s
leading manufacturing center.
As they say in the Midwest, it is also
a mere “stone’s throw” from leading centers
of education, arts and dynamic forces of in-
dustry. And for any enterprise that would
want to capitalize on opportunities from
such positioning, the city has just sweetened
the potential by putting a new 15-acre prop-
erty on the market. Located along the north-
west corner of Interstate 75 and Interstate
275, the property was formerly owned by
the Ohio Department of Transportation. In
recent months, Sharonville city leaders have
been busy redeveloping the site to attract po-
tential buyers, branding it as “the single most
viable tract of land” in Sharonville ... and it is.
With the increasing arrival of new
convention center visitors and continuing
efforts to enhance infrastructure along with
benefits to business, Sharonville is progress-
ing in its goals for increased economic devel-
opment and leading as it lives-up to its name
as The City of Progress.
