Columbus is Ohio’s capital and largest city, and its economy rests on a mix that keeps business travelers coming year-round: state government, The Ohio State University and its medical center, the headquarters of Nationwide and Huntington Bancshares, Cardinal Health and Wendy’s in suburban Dublin, the Battelle research institute and Honda’s manufacturing operations in nearby Marysville.
