Zack Space Plans Series Of "Renew Ohio 18" Summits
For the last few weeks I’ve been wondering what Zack Space would be doing to follow up on last years “Connect Appalachia” summits. Would there be another summit? It turns out the answer is a little complicated.
Early this morning it was announced that there would be an entire series of summits on a variety of topics, including one on rural broadband. The series, titled Renew Ohio 18, will also hold summits on healthcare, agriculture, and alternative energy. Two additional meeting will be held in Zanesville to both start things off and wrap things up.
“As we all know, Ohio has been devastated by the loss of many jobs in recent years.A large number of the lost jobs have been in the manufacturing sector, where unfair trade deals have debilitated our region and our state. I strongly believe that we must prepare ourselves to capitalize on opportunities for new industries and jobs.”
“I believe strongly that the time has come to undertake this endeavor. No issue deserves our attention more than preparing ourselves to attract new businesses with the jobs that our residents so greatly deserve.”
– Rep. Zack Space
