“What we don’t talk about enough is Ohio’s unique and remarkable quality of life. We are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach.

We do have big cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Toledo, so we have more than just fields surrounding us. We don’t just have a mix of diversity in people; we have a mix in the geography considering we have rural and urban areas all over Ohio. Concerning crime rate, it is growing in a
