The Nation's Smart Mobility Proving Grounds
Union County is centrally located along Ohio’s 33 Smart Corridor, a 35-mile highway corridor that crosses three counties (Franklin, Union, and Logan), and connects the cities of Marysville and Dublin to Honda’s North America Campus, the Transportation Research Center, and points beyond.
Already home to over 70 automotive suppliers and world-renowned automotive assets, the 33 Smart Corridor continues to attract attention from around the world. Recent investment in fiber and smart transportation infrastructure, totaling more than $500 million, has allowed the corridor to emerge as the nation's leader in the research and deployment of smart mobility technologies, including connected transportation infrastructure, traffic management and safety systems, CAV testing, queue warning and pedestrian safety, and data collection and commercialization.

Automotive & Mobility Innovation Center (AMIC)
Ohio has a unique opportunity to reshape the next generation of smart mobility and automotive technologies. To take advantage of this opportunity, the City of Marysville and Union County are proposing to construct a 20,000-square foot educational and entrepreneurial center known as the Automotive and Mobility Innovation Center (AMIC) located in the 33 Innovation Park in Marysville.
Once completed in 2023, the AMIC will be the world leader in information, research, commercialization, modeling, and best practices in the automotive and smart mobility sectors.
