As Ohio prepares for new leadership, the Columbus Chamber of Commerce is ready to work with the incoming administration to strengthen our economy, support businesses and create opportunities across the Columbus region. Elections bring new leadership and priorities, but what businesses need to succeed doesn't change. They need predictable policies, skilled workers, reliable infrastructure and an environment that encourages investment. Families need affordable communities, quality education and access to good jobs. Ohio's success depends on getting both right. The Columbus region has become a destination for business investment, innovation and talent . We've worked hard to build that momentum, and we cannot take it for granted. Other regions are competing for the same businesses, workers and investments. The decisions Ohio makes in the coming years will determine whether we continue to lead. Employer needs must be top of mind Across our region, employers are navigating a common challenge: how to grow while managing rising costs, workforce demands and infrastructure needs.

That's because his family in Virginia surprised him with a visit when he arrived in Washington. "It was wonderful," Hanley, 89, said. I'll never forget it. It was a tearjerker. My family met me. They came up from Virginia and met me at the Iwo Jima (monument). It was a surprise because I didn't know they were doing that. Oh my gosh. I teared up." Hanley and his fellow veterans got see a lot of the sites in Washington, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Naval memorial, the World War II memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Vietnam Wall and much more.

Need a Thanksgiving Eve bar in Columbus? Here are 5 recommendations

After the end of a long and rather noisy election season , we hate to dwell on what divides us, but there are two types of people in this country right now: those staying put on Thanksgiving and those traveling to be with those who are staying put. For those staying put in Columbus, and for those coming to town to be with them, this is for you. Ever since Lucas Sullivant's family came to town and probably walked around looking for somewhere – anywhere – to get away for a mug of hard cider in newly settled central Ohio, holiday visitors have been doing the same. Thanksgiving Eve, which is Nov. 25 this year, has more recently become known as Drinksgiving and turned into one of the biggest nights of the year for bars around the country. It's also known as Blackout Wednesday to those whose night-before imbibing has a healthy element of escape from the people they've traveled to see. Whether you're looking for a place to catch up with old friends or a place to run away to for refuge, we offer these suggestions. As a Thanksgiving traveler to other parts of Ohio, I asked stay-put friends
