Boeing, Ariel, Covestro, and PCA show off the art of manufacturing. More reasons to catch @attheworks new exhibit. https://t.co/2JEVEJMNkk #manufacturing #STEM

Great to deep dive energy issues with @OHIOMFG at Cenovus Lima. Fact: Lima’s refinery is a 140 years continuously operating refinery. Oldest in the U.S.

Can't miss family event. A convergence of Mister Rogers, @attheworks, and manufacturing this week comes to Newark. https://t.co/Ertgw2XsrD

Infrastructure. Twenty years ago, the Port Authority started major road, water, and sewer work that made way for manufacturers to grow. Today, there's 25 companies, 2,000 jobs, and $160 million in payroll. https://t.co/i6ESV35NrG #manufacturing

"What's the blue light special?" Still no better story making the point that everyone has a role in economic development than the real one 25 years ago in Steubenville. Three Thoughts Column @DispatchAlerts https://t.co/X88IWdNnv0

It’s a twofer today.

[The Ohio Manufacturers' Association @OHIOMFG]

Ohio should demand clear answers from JobsOhio on the podcast mess. But turning one bad episode into a crusade against one of Ohio’s most important job-creation tools would be a mistake. Accountability should strengthen what works, not weaken Ohio’s ability to compete.

"Imagine the euphoria from the reports that a project creating over 32,000 jobs was coming to Columbus. . .Do the math. The equivalent of that mythical huge deal actually happened in Circleville." @DispatchAlerts Three Thoughts Column #manufacturing https://t.co/Wy5OERAUMO

"These young people. . .may prove the winners of the next great transition, one that is more tied to the production of tangible goods than the manufacturing of digits and images." Latest @joelkotkin must-read with a reference, rightly so, to Newark, Ohio. https://t.co/wQFHbhTc4D

"Speed is no longer a luxury in facility development. It is a competitive advantage." Area Development magazine makes a point worth noting. https://t.co/ttWtuBeZeZ
