LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Task Force Lima gathered today to provide an update on topics concerning the tank plant.
The group has been around for many years, originally formed to prevent the closure of the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center. Today, attendees appeared both in person and over a video conference call to discuss future production, hiring more veterans, and how state organizations are contributing or want to contribute to the continued success of the plant. Plans are also being made to meet with newly elected government officials, to get them familiar with the tank plant and its needs.
"There will be a transition this year, and you know they're always looking to have the visits and the sit-downs with those, and that was a point of emphasis, and there's no doubt that will happen, and the new legislators will get to see and get to learn, and they will appreciate even more the great work that goes on right here in Lima," said Cory Noonan, Allen County Commissioner and chairman of Task Force Lima.
Also in attendance were leaders such as Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith, representatives from Jim Jordan and Rob Portman's offices, and representatives from the JSMC.
