Lt. Gov. Fisher tours valley businesses
YOUNGSTOWN — Rather than waiting until businesses find themselves facing serious economic problems, state officials want to address those concerns now, said Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher.
With that in mind, Fisher, who also serves as the director of the state’s Department of Development, spent today in the Mahoning Valley talking with various business officials about their needs.
“We’re taking a proactive outreach approach to keep businesses here by asking them what we can do to help them,” said Fisher, a Cleveland Democrat. “We want to know what we can do to help companies now rather than wait until they come to us in emergencies.”
Among Fisher’s stops today were the General Motors complex in Lordstown; and V&M Star and Fireline Inc., both in Youngstown.
