The Southeastern Ohio Port Authority serves Washington County, Ohio, as a public-private partnership to promote economic development. Washington County is where the settlement of the Northwest Territory began back before the U.S. Constitution was signed. Our community has survived and prospered as a result of the hard work and innovation of our forefathers, a tradition our citizens uphold today. Now we are a center for health care, higher education, polymers and the design and manufacture of laboratory equipment. We like to say Washington County is "Where the Pioneering Spirit Lives."
