What advice would you give business owners struggling in the current business climate?
Hang in there. Give this administration a chance to deliver on what it says it is going to do and give this environment an opportunity to right itself.
At the macro level, look at what happened with Bob Evans and American Greetings. Both were looking very seriously at leaving Ohio and in the last three months, both have met with the state’s new leadership, both have responded to what the new leadership is prepared to offer, and they are now staying in Ohio.
Not all companies will have that muscle, but there is a reason for cautious optimism for businesses in Ohio.
