Heads Up!

 
"Columbus has moved up in the rankings of America’s strongest economies."  It says so on my HER Real Living Business Center this morning. It kinda sorta registers with me, I grab the quote.. and wish there was a link to more info. 

Is this what Bonnie of Real Estate Snippets tried to give me a heads up about a day or so ago? Nope her's is a different report...  same economies kinda, sorta including a much too long PDF.    The PDF has gorgeous graphs though.  

Ohio is 50 of 51 (DC must be there?)  Our Mitten State northern neighbor is 51..... OK that is states, what HER Real Living told me about this AM is a statistic about the Columbus Metropolitan area. 

"Columbus has moved up in the rankings of America’s strongest economies."

My HER Real Living Business Center Regional News this morning says:

"According to a POLICOM Corporation ranking, the Columbus Metropolitan Area is now the 7th-strongest economy in the nation, among a list of 361 Metropolitan areas. The city moved up from 12th place in 2005 and 18th in 2004.  Neighboring cities like Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Cleveland rank 9th, 34th and 157th, respectively."

My first attempt to Google for the info I have one too many m's... policomm is political communication.  HER Real Living Business Center spelled it A OK but why isn't there a link ... it would really, really help me if HER Real Living would supply the link.  Or they could just write this blog for me.  Just kidding.  I just Googled it from memory.... interesting but  www.policomm.net/ is not what  I am looking for.

Maybe Policom.com is a subscription only service.  I don't have a lot of luck locating the actual study which shows:

 'the Columbus Metropolitan Area is now the 7th-strongest economy in the nation" 

Yahoo! (an exclamation of joy... not a search engine or internet service or  whatever Yahoo is...)  Buy a home, rates are great, we are healthy in Ohio, very healthy in Columbus.
