Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted recently attended a Manufacturing Appreciation Luncheon in Guernsey County on Oct. 2. Speaking at the event, Husted emphasized the state's strong manufacturing output and the importance of integrating robotics and automation to maintain global competitiveness.
The event was organized by the Cambridge-Guernsey County Improvement Corporation to recognize October as Manufacturing Month, as reported by Whiz News.
“We’ll see of the future of manufacturing in Ohio is more integration with technology into the manufacturing process,” Husted said. “You’ll see more robotics, more automation, more sensors so that you can produce more goods faster, create greater productivity, and that will allow us to compete with those low-wage nations to produce products that are affordable for American consumers and beyond.”
Husted was also recently in Noble County to meet with local officials and tour two key developments: the Caldwell East of I-77 Business Park and the new Caldwell High School football field.
The $4.8 million Caldwell East of I-77 Business Park project will feature a 10,000-square-foot facility, new access roads, utilities, and water and sewer systems, according to a press release on JobsOhio. The business park aims to attract light manufacturing, energy, and logistics projects, benefiting from the region's lower cost of living and competitive wages. The park will support economic growth and create jobs in the region.
Ohio generates over $114 billion annually in manufactured goods and ranks third in the U.S., according to Whiz News.
