Rossford is a tight-knit community with a lot to offer. The city has undergone major improvements over the last few years, including two new state-of-the-art schools; Rossford Elementary was completed in 2019 and Rossford Junior-Senior High School opened in the spring of 2020. Another exciting addition to the area is the Amazon fulfillment center. The 640,000 square-foot facility was completed in 2020 and the build created more than 350 engineering, design, and construction jobs. The Amazon center has more than 1,000 full-time employees and recently donated $25,000 to Rossford schools for STEM education.
The Crossroads area is also expanding with new warehouses and 137 acres at the Buck Road interchange is being constructed as an industrial and manufacturing site. Rossford Mayor Neil MacKinnon III said he can "envision 10,000 new jobs for the region in the next five years." With business booming, great advancements in education, and its convenient location to I-75 and I-80/90, Rossford is living up to its moniker as the "Crossroads of America."
