Excellent Market Access

An Excellent Business Location

The convenient access to Greater Cleveland, Akron/Canton and Warren/Youngstown metropolitan areas makes Portage County an excellent business location. It’s also close to cultural, recreational, educational and social amenities not far from our more rural, less congested setting provides.

Location is perhaps one of Portage County’s greatest assets. At the center of the Northeast Ohio transportation network, the county is located 40 miles southeast of Cleveland and approximately 20 miles east of Akron.

Portage County truly enjoys the best of both worlds. The county retains its rural atmosphere, with several long-established small communities interspersed between major cities. The county’s exceptional transportation system provides a quick link to the resources and conveniences of Northeast Ohio, the nation and the world.

Highways & Interstates

Routes 71, 76, 77, 80, 90, 271, and 480 are easily reached from anywhere in the county. Ohio Turnpike (I-80) exits 13 and 13a are in Portage County.
