Editorial Roundup: Ohio

And right now, during a pandemic and all of the economic challenges that come with it, might seem like bad timing. Thousands of central Ohio residents and business owners are struggling to maintain home and health in this difficult time. And that’s actually part of the reason for Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s potentially game-changing ask. “The need is now,” Steve Steinour, Huntington Bank’s chairman, president and chief executive officer told the Dispatch Editorial Board. He is right. Hunger cannot wait, and neither can efforts to combat it. The need has been described in scores of Columbus Dispatch articles over the years and a recent CBS “60 Minutes” segment showcasing the impact of COVID-19 on Columbus.

City must recoup losses from fizzled Chill-Can project | News, Sports, Jobs

Apr 25, 2021 Mae West, that sassy, brassy 20th century American actress and sex symbol best known for her pithy platitudes, let loose this one in her 1959 autobiography: “An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.” She may as well have been talking today to Mitchell Joseph of the M.J. Joseph Development Corp. of California, owner of the much-ballyhooed Chill-Can Beverage and Technology Complex for which construction began five years ago on Youngstown’s East Side. After all, Joseph has been sky-high on promises, rock-bottom low on performance in recent years. About five years ago amid much fanfare, Joseph announced grand plans for a sprawling $20 million research and manufacturing complex in Youngstown for his company’s self-chilling beverage can technology. He vowed to create several hundred jobs and rejuvenate a decaying neighborhood. To a city thirsting for cool and promising economic catalysts, Mitchell’s pitch struck a nerve. He even sweetened his deals with emotional accounts of his great-grandfather who had started the Star Beverage Co. on the East Side site a century earlier.

YOUNGSTOWN — City Law Director Jeff Limbian said no progress was made during a nearly two-hour meeting with the attorney for the Chill-Can project’s developer. “Nothing new was brought to the table,” Limbian said of Friday’s meeting. “The expectation by them was to ask the city how to resolve this so they can have more time to make the right things happen. We’ve already given them time. We asked for solutions, and it doesn’t seem like those solutions are going to come.” Limbian and Joseph Houser, an attorney hired by the city, met with Brian Kopp, an attorney representing Mitchell Joseph and his company, M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can property on the city’s East Side.

Apr 14, 2021 YOUNGSTOWN — Mitchell Joseph, developer of the stalled Chill-Can project, said he plans to complete the work and open a plant on the city’s East Side. “Time is needed to complete the construction phase of the Youngstown complex and hire Valley residents so that we may begin to manufacture and distribute product,” Joseph said in a prepared statement issued by his attorney today. Joseph didn’t say how much time is needed. City officials on March 31 said Joseph, CEO of M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can plant, had 60 days to construct a number of buildings and hire about 150 workers or the city would file a lawsuit. That lawsuit could seek to get back $1.5 million in water and wastewater funds given to the company, as well as repeal a 10-year tax abatement and about $400,000 the city paid to purchase properties for the project. The city could also seek to take ownership of the site.
