Head east out of New Haven on U.S. 24 and about 45 minutes later youâll be in Defiance County, Ohio.
The northwest Ohio community is part of Greater Fort Wayne Business Weeklyâs coverage area, so this month we are profiling the community. Following is an emailed interview with Erika Willitzer of Defiance County Economic Development, edited for brevity.
Whatâs new and exciting in the county? Are there any new businesses worth mentioning?
⢠Defiance County is home to Hillandale Farms, located just outside Mark Center, Ohio. They are one of the nationâs leading suppliers of shell eggs to retailers and distributors throughout the U.S. They announced plans to do a $26 million expansion project in 2018, and that became a reality in 2019-2020.
