Toledo is entrepreneur-friendly - "One important piece of evidence is Entrepreneur magazine's ranking of Toledo as the sixth best in its listing of "best cities for entrepreneurs" among midsized Midwest cities for 2003. That ranking puts Toledo ahead of cities like Lexington, Ky., Ann Arbor, and Akron and Dayton. In front of Toledo are Madison, Wis.; Omaha; Appleton/Oshkosh, Wis., Des Moines; and Fort Wayne, Ind. Overall, Toledo ranked 40th out of 84 midsized cities in the survey. Toledo did very well, based on a blend of entrepreneurial activity (start-ups over a five-year period), small-business growth, job growth in the last three years, and risk (as judged by failure rates)."
