‘Transformation’ Is Theme of Growth Report 2019
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — The past year has brought significant transformations in the region, from new industries to the way business is done in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys.
As construction proceeds for the riverfront park and amphitheater downtown, the Lordstown Energy Center has started operations and the Ellwood Group Inc. plans to invest at least $200 million into new operations, including a $60 million aluminum castings plant in Hubbard.
Burgeoning industries like advanced manufacturing and medicinal marijuana are driving innovation and investment in the region, creating new jobs and opportunities, while long-standing developers look to reinvest in the communities that helped them to grow. At the same time, the region is working to overcome the loss of the General Motors Lordstown Complex.
