I’d like to think that Honda bought my book when they announced their three finalists for their next major plant. They chose Van Wert, OH; Greensburg, IN; and Fithian, IL. The first two are both agurbs® and Fithan is only 15 miles from Danville, another agurb®. I’ve spoken in all three over the past two years.
Van Wert is making a grassroots effort to lure the company to town. A local printing company has printed up 500 signs which are sprouting up around the community inviting Honda to locate there. Nancy Bowen, local ED head, has collected over 300 letters to Honda urging them to locate in Van Wert.
Honda’s first plant was built in Marysville, OH (population 15, 942). They obviously fully understand the value of locating in smaller towns like Van Wert, Greensburg and Fithian.

Sounds like Van Wert is practically a done deal. With as much 'activity' in Van Wert, I'd think it be a safe bet on Honda coming to Van Wert.
