Transportation has been the major factor in this citys growth. The Ohio-Erie Canal was an early stimulus, followed by rail service. It is served by three major railroads. Highway transportation also plays a key role in the citys development. US Route 21 (a four lane limited access highway) provides excellent access to Cleveland and Akron in the North, as well as I-77 and I-76. US Route 30 provides a good four lane east-west artery. Early industrial growth was in basic steel and large machinery. Today, the local economy has diversified and includes plastics, automotive products, packaging materials and consumer food products.
