Evendale
The village of Evendale is home to GE Aviation, the largest manufacturer in the greater Cincinnati area, as well as a multitude of manufacturers and other types of businesses. The village uses several economic development strategies to attract businesses to the area. For example, Evendale does not assess a property tax. Additionally, low-interest lending programs and tax abatements intentionally draw businesses to the area from far and wide. Since life cannot be all business, Evendale also houses a Cultural Arts Center – offering events and classes covering everything from acting to music to wine tasting.
