Columbus Mayor Fred Armstrong (right) has just returned from a trade mission to China and says he has at least four solid leads, reports Inside INdiana Business.
Armstrong and three other people went on the 17 day trip and met with about 35 Chinese companies that are looking to invest in the United States.
Armstrong says the trip was worth it. "In fact, one company was looking at a neighboring state and found out about Columbus after our little song and dance that we have and they're going to visit Columbus in the very near future and hold off their other state. So that's good news."
Armstrong says he stressed the area's educated workforce and quality of life to the Chinese. Armstrong says he will follow up with the companies that were interested and hopes to have news to announce soon. He anticipates making one to two trips a year to China to try to secure investment in Columbus.
