Economic Areas
Being one of the most affluent and fastest growing counties in Ohio, Delaware County has a plethora of economic development and commerce options. Orange Township specifically includes the US-23 corridor, a hub of economic activity, as well as surrounding areas of Orange Township such as Polaris Parkway, Tanger Outlets, the City of Columbus, and the City of Delaware. Over the years, business and retail development has grown substantially in these areas, and the Township’s population has also increased. Strong economic development and residents relocating to the Township are highly correlated; typically when one increases, so does the other. |
