Village shops, neighborhood services and major corridors

Mansfield combines the historic Columbus village and neighborhood commercial areas with Route 206 retail and medical services, plus major logistics and industrial development along Route 130 and the Florence-Columbus Road corridor. The guide separates visitor-facing local businesses from large industrial/employment areas so each is easier to use.
