Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13) issued the following statement today after Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel and Foxconn announced plans to establish a national electric vehicle workforce training and innovation center:
“I want to thank Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel and Foxconn CEO Terry Gou for their leadership and dedication to Ohio's workforce. This announcement is a colossal victory for Voltage Valley that will bring good-paying jobs back to our region and prepare our workers to once again lead the auto industry into the future. With investments on the way from our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, we are ushering in a new era of manufacturing not only in the Mahoning Valley, but all across our great state. I'm proud to have fought like hell to put Ohioans at the forefront of innovation happening around electric vehicles, and I'll continue to do everything in my power to ensure our workers can succeed and go toe-to-toe with the competition."
