City of Cincinati | 3 The City of Cincinnati has garnered distinction as the “Most Tax Friendly City for Business” in America. It additionally ranks among the nation’s top metro destinations for not only starting, but also main- taining a business, something complemented by its recognition as the least likely place for business owners to fail. Business bankruptcy rates in Cincinnati are lower than any other city in America. These components certainly add credence to its further distinction as one of the greatest places to live and work in America. Yet even in a community so seemingly blessed, the focus on sustainability strives to support Cincinnati’s transition from great to greater. Mark Twain once famously quipped that should the world ever come to an end, his preference was to be in Cincinnati because “everything comes there ten years later.” His criticism may have been prompted by a dis- pute with the local press, because histori- cally, Cincinnati has enjoyed a reputation for urban modernity and political progres- siveness. It was even once renowned as the Midwest version of New York and Paris (yet conspicuously, if not blissfully, free of New Yorkers and French alike – ha!).
