For a business like this, logistics are key.

And good logistics should lower the cost of doing business. I don't know what the tolls are in Ohio, but in the NYC area, the bridge tolls are a profit killer for a company that relies upon 18-wheelers to move inventory and merchandise. The business that is moving to Ohio currently operates out of Long Island City in Queens, NY. Every 18 wheel truck heading into Long Island City from the south or west must cross at least two bridges at a cost of ~$50 to $85 for each bridge depending upon time of day and method of payment. Trucks traveling from or to the north or northeast have one bridge at ~$53 to $80 round trip. Multiply that by 100s of trucks per year and that's a lot of money for a start-up business to absorb.

The only toll road in Ohio is The Ohio Turnpike (I80/I90) that runs across northern Ohio. Nowhere near Columbus.
