Ohio website brags about Michigan cities
A slick new online magazine designed to promote Ohio features Grand Haven, Saugatuck, East Grand Rapids and other cities you won’t find on an Ohio map. The featured places are actually in the much-hated state up north.
The bi-weekly magazine is a product of the Ohio Business Development Coalition, which is funded by a grant from the state Department of Development.
The magazine and website tell “the story of the new economy in Ohio. It’s a narrative of creative people and businesses and what they are doing to create jobs for today and tomorrow. It’s the story of a state on the move.”
The online magazine editors go on to say that the site “will present original stories, video and photography to tell that story, from Cleveland to Cincinnati, Marietta to Maumee and parts in between.”
And apparently in parts found in Michigan.
A state Department of Development spokesman said the business development coalition is working to fix the error.

Anything the Ohio Dept.of Development people do has to be looked upon as suspect, because there’s no proof they’ve done much in the last few years. Ohio has lost many jobs, that merely ended up in other lower-cost states. You know there’s something wrong when they constantly are doing customized packages on a per-business basis, acknowledging we are out-of-line in terms of our business climate. The legislature and governor need to re-think their big, bloated government positions if they expect it to change for the better.
