About this listen

 It's June which means people are in, on and enjoying Ohio waters statewide. For this episode of 'Ohio Water Means Business', we have the very latest numbers for Ohio's boating industry and they're flat-out stunners. Recreational boating pumps $6 billion, yes with a B, into our yearly economy and provides nearly 20,000 direct and indirect jobs. The $6B number now eclipses the amount from the RV industry. Joining us to talk about it are Michelle Burke, President of the Lake Erie Marine Trades Association, Shawn Kasych of the Kasych Group and the Honorable State Senator Kent Smith. Sen. Smith's district borders Lake Erie and he's a fierce champion of both protecting and promoting our precious resource. Shawn is also a principal of the Ohio Water Partnership and rounds out the conversation with waters' dynamic importance to virtually every aspect of the broader economy.
