Council member Mister Clark reported that the Strongsville Economic Development Committee visited the PPG powder-coating facility in Progress Drive Business Park on Jan. 27 and received a presentation and plant tour.
Clark said 15 people attended the tour and that PPG staff explained the facility supports several industries, including automotive supplier Stellantis. "It's nice to have business leaders that have a vested interest across all components of our community," Clark said, noting a focus on safety and that about "50 people" work in the plant's manufacturing arm. Clark thanked plant manager Spencer Bradford and other PPG staff for the tour and said the committee aims to increase local awareness of manufacturing operations.
