NATURAL RESOURCES

WATER

Northwest Ohio is located on the shores of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Maumee River.  This unique location provides the region with the benefits of a Great Lake community and an abundance of rivers and streams.  The fresh water provided by Lake Erie is a resource for industry, a basis for recreation, and a necessity to sustain life.

LAND

 

Within the Northwest Ohio region land is available for development in urban, suburban, and rural settings. Due to the rich soil of the area agriculture still flourishes in the region and most areas planned for development have easy access to utilities.

 

 

AIR

 

Northwest Ohio has immediate and responsive access to air transportation.  Our region sits in the shadow of Detroit's international airport; is home to Toledo Express Airport; a smaller, friendlier facility; and has Metcalf Executive Field for many private aviators.  Additionally, each county has their own public/private airport that can accomodate various types of air travel.
