Dialogue: Ohio's New Economy

October 11, 2022

Intel’s plan to build a massive computer chip manufacturing complex in New Albany offers a glimpse of what’s next for Ohio’s economic future. Could Ohio move from the buckle of the rust belt to the hub of the Silicon Heartland?

What other companies and industries could call Ohio home? The state’s next governor and new crop of leaders will guide this transformation, and this edition of Dialogue will examine the potential benefits and pitfalls of economic change.

The program featured Bill Shkurti, distinguished adjunct professor for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs, and Fran Stewart, senior research associate for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs and the Ohio Manufacturing Institute. Matthew Rand, reporter for 89.7 NPR News, will moderate the program.
