Research company comes to Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — Just a day after the announcement of a $650 million V&M Star Steel expansion, Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan welcomed a research company today to the city’s downtown.

“We’ve come a long way,” said Ryan of Niles, D-17th. “This is just the beginning of marketing our valley as a great place for business.”

Revere Data, a San Francisco-based company, has relocated a research center’s operations from New Delhi, India, to the recently renovated Semple Building on West Federal Street, part of the city’s Tech Block.

Revere Data’s facility will open “immediately” with 10 employees, said Kevin E. O’Brien, its chief executive officer. That number could get as high as 100 in two years, he said.
