Ohio has six large cities, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron and Dayton, as well as a good number of mid-size cities, Parma and Canton among these. In the first half of 2016, Ohio was ranked #9 in Bond Sales and #8 in Note Sales, with an increase in both sales over 2015. Ranked 34th in total area size, Ohio is ranked 7th in population, proving BIG things come in small packages. Overall, they were the second largest issuer in development issues and seventh in education issues.

Join us for the Ohio Municipal Finance Summit on May 2nd in Columbus to discuss these national issues from a local perspective.
