The Central Ohio River Business Association (CORBA) was built upon the vision and commitment of a dedicated group of businesses and organizations who recognized the vital importance of the Ohio River to our regional economy. Representing barge tow companies, terminal operators, fleeting services, port authorities, and many other maritime-related industries, these founding members came together to establish a unified voice for river commerce in the tri-state region.

CORBA would not exist without the foresight, dedication, and generosity of these pioneering organizations. Their early investment of time, resources, and leadership laid the foundation upon which everything CORBA has built and continues to build. We are proud to honor their legacy and remain grateful for the spirit of collaboration and commitment to the river that they instilled in this association from the very beginning.
