First step to 'Tech Belt'
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan said a partnership between agencies in Cleveland and Pittsburgh to attract venture capital to the two cities' medical manufacturing and bio-technological industries should also include Youngstown, Warren and Akron. BioEnterprise of Cleveland and the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse announced the partnership Tuesday.
Ryan, of Niles, D-17th, sees the announcement as the first step toward creating a "Tech Belt" that not only takes in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but also the cities between them.
Ryan is calling for a regional summit of leaders from local industries, elected officials and economic development organizations to create an economic advancement model for the area.
There are more than 700 bio-science companies in the Cleveland-Akron-Youngstown-Pittsburgh corridor employing more than 25,000 people, Ryan said.
Hearing canceled
CANFIELD -- The fate of an 18-acre land parcel in Canfield Township remains uncertain after an annexation hearing was canceled Tuesday. County commissioners were to determine whether the land would be incorporated into Canfield city, where it would receive city water and sewer service. Landowner Victor Rucci hoped to develop the property, consisting mainly of fallow farmland, with 54 single-family homes.
But an agent acting on Rucci's behalf canceled the hearing because a legal notice had not been printed in the newspaper, as required by law. Commissioners will respond to Rucci's request for a new hearing date at their meeting Thursday.
Township attorney Al Schrader said he will object to rescheduling the hearing. Township officials are opposing the annexation out of concern over land loss.
