WHY CLERMONT COUNTY Only in Clermont
STEP OUTSIDE CINCINNATI FOR THE GOOD LIFE AT A GREAT PRICE
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what sets us apart from our Cincinnati neighbors just a few minutes to the west. Maybe it’s our history as part of the Underground Railroad and a gateway to possibility for generations of Americans. Or perhaps it’s our friendly attitudes that make every visitor feel like a welcome member of the family. It could be our miles of scenic beauty — after all, we’re known as Cincinnati’s “natural side” — which beckon for fun and relaxation. Whatever it is that makes this place so special, the feeling is growing, and there’s never been a better time to host your meeting, event, or competition right here in Clermont County.
GATHER Whether you’re scouting the perfect spot for your group’s annual conference, bringing athletes to compete in a national competition, or planning your company’s next strategic expansion, Clermont County has everything you need to make your stay a comfortable, affordable, and memorable one. Our second-to-none Midwest location offers quick access to CVG international airport and major highways that are within a day’s drive to 60 percent of the U.S. population. In other words, Clermont is the perfect meet-up spot for friends and teammates near and far.
