I went to the summit at Grove City College this year and there was honestly a lot of good news. Workforce development is finally getting some real attention, and a few of the regional employers were talking about big hiring plans for late summer. Always nice to leave one of those things feeling optimistic instead of the other way around. Curious if anyone else was there or has thoughts on what's coming for the area.
I wasn't able to attend this year but I caught the highlights. The data center announcement is the headline of course, but I was just as interested in the workforce numbers. The Shenango Valley spent a generation getting smaller and now we are finally seeing things move the other direction. There is a lot of history in those downtown buildings and seeing them filled in again means something. If anyone has a link to the recap I would appreciate it.
Hadn't heard about it until your post. Is it open to the public or more of a chamber thing? I would have liked to sit in on something like that. Coming from out of state I am always trying to get a better picture of where things are headed around here.
For anyone who couldn't make it... the chamber posted some good highlights to their socials. The data center announcement is the big headline obviously but I thought the workforce panel had really useful stuff too. Long term this is great for our tax base.
