Dublin is a city of more than 50,000 residents located just northwest of Columbus, Ohio. It offers residents and corporate citizens responsive services, attractive housing, superior public education, direct regional highway access, abundant park space, thoughtful and strategic planning, innovative ideas and technology and a dynamic community life. Dublin is consistently ranked one of the safest cities in the nation. It is home to more than 20 corporate headquarters, an entrepreneurial center, 4,300+ businesses, world-class events and the urban, walkable Bridge Street District.

The City of Dublin's vision is to be a global city of choice. Vibrant. Innovative. Engaged. In that spirit, Dublin has continued to grow, evolve, innovate and serve a diverse population of residents, businesses and visitors. In recent years, Dublin has held true to these qualities through the continuous investment in infrastructure and by forging innovative partnerships with private and public entities, along with engaging the local constituency.
