Book excerpt: The Village of Lockland, Ohio is a small, first-ring suburb approximately twelve miles outside of the city core of Cincinnati. This Village of 3,700 residents is also considered an aging, industrial town because of its history of manufacturing companies and mills. Located directly adjacent to Interstate 75, which used to be the Miami-Erie Canal, Lockland has recently suffered from deindustrialization, unemployment and depopulation. Through use of Economic Base Analysis and other methods, the future prospects and economic feasibility of Lockland are analyzed and recommendations for further development are given.
