Local group heads to Israel to foster business ties

YOUNGSTOWN — A local delegation of business, education and community leaders is headed to Israel to develop business connections.

The one-week trip begins Friday and was coordinated by the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber and the Youngstown Area Jewish Foundation.

The chamber has been trying to draw foreign businesses to the area since receiving a $250,000 federal grant last year.
