Great news. And I'm reading into the line "the company approached the city in February" to mean that they approached the MAYOR and other city officials. Folks, THIS is an example of what can happen when you have someone who understands the nuances of politics and business working together to make things happen. The city was approached in February, and a decision came less than 60 days later. Kudos to the city for making this happen (at least the decision) in a very short period of time.

Now, for the Gloom-n-Doomers I'll give you your due. I know, I KNOW. They're not the RIGHT kind of jobs. But don't worry. Those are coming back to Ohio REAL soon, I'm sure.

The company has about 20 administrative and maintenance employees. It employs between 45 and 100 field workers on any given day. Most jobs pay between $20 and $30 an hour, she said.

Not too shabby though. Congrats to the mayor and the city.
