A new Valley coalition with 29 backers is pushing for data centers

If you've followed the data center debate, here's the new player. The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber and the Western Reserve Building Trades announced the Mahoning Valley Coalition for a 21st Century Economy Monday at a news conference in Boardman.

It arrives as moratoriums are in place in Niles, Girard, Warren, Boardman and other communities, and Hubbard voters banned data centers in last week's election. The chamber is looking at McDonald and Weathersfield, which both have moratoriums.

“Come to mutual agreements without moratoriums.”

Guy Coviello, president and CEO of the Regional Chamber
  • Timeframe for development: none set
  • Next step: more talks with community members
  • Hynes hiring fair: Tuesday, 1 to 7 p.m., Hendrick Road

Hynes Industries is the local example. CEO Rick Organ says data center parts are about 40% of its sales, and the company is hiring up to 50 people after investing well over $30 million in two years.

News Notes

Boardman levy

Boardman Township trustees met Monday for the first time since voters defeated the police and fire levy. About 17,000 votes were cast, and the levy failed by 148 votes, with 50.4% opposed. Trustee Steve Yacovone said the township won't be able to maintain the same level of service, though he said there are no plans to cut responders. No decisions were made Monday. WYTVWFMJ

Opportunity Zones

WFMJ reported that 14 Mahoning Valley areas, seven in Mahoning County, five in Trumbull and two in Columbiana, were named Opportunity Zones 2.0. Starting Jan. 1, investments in the zones are eligible for federal tax incentives, the Ohio Department of Development said. Lake to River corridor leaders hailed the news, which Business Journal Daily counted as 20 local census tracts across Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana counties.

The Wrap

Youngstown's ground has a story to tell, and it reaches back to a prehistoric past. At Saturday's Ohio Geology Discovery Day, the Mahoning Valley Geology, Earth and Minerals group showed off a conularia found locally, a large, nearly intact specimen. Another slab drew crowds for its bark print. Fossil hunters, rock on.
