"American Augers, Inc. is proud to be located in Ashland County, Ohio. We have found that the local governments (township, city, county and

state) are all extremely pro-business. During our recent plant expansion (that doubled the size of our facility), the Ashland Area Council for Economic Development was exceedingly helpful in navigating us through the process for obtaining state and local grants that aided us in making this expansion a reality.  We look forward to working with the AACED in the future and continuing our contribution to the economic vitality of Ashland County."
