BBC in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN

A crew from the British Broadcasting Corp., or BBC, visited Youngstown earlier this week to film interviews for a segment on the “New Youngstown.” The news crew met with Mayor Jay Williams, the Youngstown Business Incubator’s Chief Evangelist Jim Cossler and representatives from Turning Technologies and Revere Data, among others. The interviews are scheduled to air on BBC America along with segments about Rockford, Ill., and Kokomo, Ind., to show that innovation can occur in the most unlikely former Rust Belt cities, Cossler said.
