Industrial Expansion and War Time Growth in Ohio
Postwar Ohio industrial activity surged with $1,215,610,000 in wartime projects and $56,400,000 in military facilities. Metropolitan counties produced 69 percent of industrial costs, with metals facilities dominating. In 1945–46 postwar construction totaled hundreds of millions, aided by new plants from Aluminum Cook Utensil in Chillicothe to General Electric sites in Coshocton, Logan, Circleville and Marion area chemical ventures.
