Experience a vibrant business community

Westerville realizes the importance of its business community and maintains strong support and incentives to foster business growth and retention within the community. These strong support initiatives within Westerville have enabled the community to create an environment that encourages job and payroll growth.

With the implementation of a city-owned Business Education & Innovation Center (Community Data Center), and formal business incubator, these advantages can only increase as Westerville makes its way through the 21st century. Fiber-optics infrastructure paired with the data center provides sustainable prosperity for businesses, residents and community partners.

Nearly 675 area businesses are members of the four-star accredited Chamber of Commerce.
