Columbus does well but, and I can really only speak for Youngstown on this, all the ex steel workers and other blue collar laborers are all going to work with the fracking companies. And a rising tide floats all boats, construction companies get work building plants. Trucking companies get work supplying materials. Local diners and stores get the boost of a steadily empolyed buyer base and even hotels have been cropping up around the plants.
The success of the cruze has really helped as well since we build that here.
