Obama supporter campaigns in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — If elected president, Barack Obama would invest $250 million a year to increase the number and size of business incubators in disadvantaged communities, according to a spokesman for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said today.

Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown highlighted that aspect of Obama’s economic plan during a visit to the Youngstown Business Incubator.

“He understands that good work happens in places like the Youngstown Business Incubator,” Brown said. “While they’re doing good work, they need a partner in the White House.”

Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, is to hold a town hall meeting Tuesday in the Youngstown area.

The time and location of the event is expected to be announced Saturday.

His advanced staff today visited Austintown Fitch High School as well as Youngstown State University and the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, among other locations.
