Some very encouraging economic news for long depressed areas in the Ohio River Valley. This includes Cincinnati.

A great read, especially concerning both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The article should be given much more exposure where it will count--on the office coffee tables of every business in our city.

It is encouraging news for the entire Ohio Valley.

I took specific note of W. Virginia's increase in coal exports. If we won't burn it apparently somebody will.

Yup. Knowing that the economy is on the upswing in your area is going to make it a more attractive place to potential new residents. Myself included. :-)

I have to see how the Supreme Court votes on Obamacare before I can decide where to move. If it is passed in full, it is going to have a serious impact on the economy in most areas of the country. Finding a place to live that will see the least amount of damage from it is my goal. An area where health care plays a diminished role in the local economy will be the most attractive place to live.

Back on topic. Apparently manufacturing is making a comeback in some areas of the country. I read an article not too long ago indicating more startups and exports are a result of the weaker dollar. Makes it easier to manufacture and export goods. Perhaps that good news along with the fact that the energy industry is making strides (despite strangling regulations by the EPA) in your region and others like the Dakotas, we may see the country pull out of the economic doldrums that has mired this country for many years. Finally.
