Regional Chamber Updates Economic Development Numbers
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- The Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber reports it has completed development projects totaling $120 million through the first eight months of the year, and $1.37 billion worth of projects are pending.
The numbers are contained in the chamber’s August 2014 newsletter, distributed to members this week.
The number of new jobs created through the completed projects is 469, the chamber says, with 916 more jobs pending should all the projects in the works come to fruition.
The new annual payroll amounts to $24.3 million, the chamber says. Retained jobs number 300 with another 2,188 pending.
The chamber says it’s “completed 620 retention and expansion visits,” which enables it to “determine the needs of the business community, in regards to assistance in financing, grants, tax credits, local resources and more.”
