Upper Arlington's central location, its educated and affluent populace, and its reputation as one of the premier residential communities in central Ohio make it an appealing environment in which to live, work and do business.

More than 900 businesses call Upper Arlington home, including companies like AOL, Hilb Rogal & Hobbs, CompuServe, and the Orthopedic Center of Excellence. The community's 33,000 residents provide a willing and educated workforce. Its more than 13,000 households, whose average annual income exceeds $126,000, provide a wealth of customers. And its ready supply of professional office space makes it an ideal location for the ever-growing service sector.

The Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in the community. The Chamber promotes the development, retention and expansion of local businesses by providing its more than 500 members with marketing opportunities, benefit programs, and community advocacy.

The City's economic development department works closely with businesses to identify valuable opportunities, incentives, sites and services, and guides them through the steps needed to establish a presence in Upper Arlington.
