Taft Technology Center
May 21, 2008
As of May 19, the 6 million dollar Taft Technology Center opened in downtown Youngstown with former Governor Bob Taft as honored guest. The Taft Technology Center is located adjacent to the Youngstown Business Incubator and will house accelerated companies from the YBI program.
However, the brand new Taft Center has a problem. It's already filled to capacity with growing businesses and eager employees.
So, the YBI is forging on, and will shortly begin a 3 million dollar renovation of the Semple Building, next to the Taft Center, to house even more companies. In 2010, on the other side of the YBI, they will renovate the Wells building, and, well, they're not stopping there. Says Chief Evangelist Jim Cossler, "We're not stopping until we are the most recognized software application cluster in the Midwest."

Youngstown will still be shitt!!! No matter what you do with the place except get everyone's friends and family members out and get real people that want to work and would do a way better job. It's just not enough diversity in this town to get anywhere. Hate to be a 'Debbie Downer' but I have been here too long and nothing but names change around here.
