IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF TOLEDO BEING NAMED THE TOP METROPOLITAN AREA
______
HON. ROBERT E. LATTA
of ohio
in the house of representatives
Thursday, March 18, 2021
Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Toledo, Ohio, for being selected by Site Selection Magazine as a Top Metropolitan Area in the United States. Toledo has shown what a strong community with the ambition to bring new investment to the area can do to create opportunities for the metropolitan area.
In order to be considered a metropolitan city for this particular award, the area must have a population ranging from 200,000 to 1 million. Toledo was selected for this award by Site Selection because of the new business investments brought to the metropolitan area. In 2020, Toledo had an estimated $2.2 billion worth of projects that are expected to create 3,500 jobs.
Fostering a cooperative environment between businesses and local government has resulted in continued economic growth in the area. Toledo has brought millions in investments from businesses including Amazon, Stellantis, General Motors, Libbey Glass, and many more. The great work that Toledo has done despite the COVID-19 challenge is inspirational and shows the incredible work that is occurring in Northwest Ohio.
Congratulations to Toledo, on being named a Top Metropolitan Area.
