<ul>
<li>Procter &amp; Gamble Health Care Research Center &#8211; 2,400 employees</li>
<li>Cintas &#8211; 1,800 employees</li>
<li>Luxottica Retail &#8211; 1,162 employees</li>
</ul>
<p>In 2007, Money Magazine put Mason Ohio onto their top 100 best cities list:</p>
<p><a title="Mason Ohio" href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0707/gallery.BPTL_top_100.moneymag/81.html" target="_blank">http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0707/gallery.BPTL_top_100.moneymag/81.html</a></p>
<p>The Mason area of Warren County is a top destination for vacation travelers.  Area attractions include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.pki.com/" target="_blank">Kings Island</a> amusement park, home of the top two wooden roller coasters in the world</li>
<li>Ohio&#8217;s largest water park, <a href="http://www.thebeachwaterpark.com/" target="_blank">The Beach Waterpark</a>, voted &#8220;Best Place to Get Wet&#8221;</li>
<li>Five championship golf courses in the area, two of which are ranked among the most difficult and largest in the Tri-State.</li>
<li>Six <a href="http://www.masonoh.org/home.php? ID=70" target="_blank">city parks</a> totaling 242 acres of leisure and active space</li>
<li><a href="http://www.masters-series.com/cincinnati" target="_blank">Western &amp; Southern Financial Group Masters</a></li>
<li>Mason&#8217;s 51-mile Bicycle and Pedestrian project.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.imaginemason.org/home.php? ID=165" target="_blank">Mason Community Center</a>, the second largest community center in the State of Ohio newly opened in 2003</li>
</ul>
<p>The Mason Public School District was rated Excellent by the State of Ohio for 2006-2007.  You can find the school report at <a href="http://www.ode.state.oh.us/reportcardfiles/2006-2007/DIST/050450.PDF" target="_blank">http://www.ode.state.oh.us/reportcardfiles/2006-2007/DIST/050450.PDF</a>.  The Mason City Schools can be found at <a href="http://www.masonohioschools.com/">http://www.masonohioschools.com/</a> and the school boundries can be found at <a href="http://www.imaginemason.org/pdfs/SchoolDistrict.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.imaginemason.org/pdfs/SchoolDistrict.pdf</a>.</p>
<p>I rarely hear complaints about Mason.  The only negative feedback comes from people who like lots of hills (Mason is mostly flat) and old homes (most homes are newer in Mason).   </p>
<p>You can find more information about the City from the City website:</p>
