Wyandot County Profile



Wyandot County

Wyandot County is a unique area in Northwest Ohio, bisected by major highways that provide easy access to major commercial and industrial centers. Wyandot County is now positioned to grow regionally with the recent completion of U.S. 30 east/west complementing U.S. 23 north/south to provide four lane highway access in all directions. These two corridors in addition to the bypass around Upper Sandusky provide many ideal sites for the location, relocation, or expansion of a business in the northwest Ohio area. In addition to its physical features, Wyandot County is home to a labor force that is ready and eager to work.
