Entrepreneur Mag. has named Youngstown as one of the "Top 10 Cities in the U.S. to Start a Business". The nationally recognized publication specifically identifies the success of the Youngstown Business Incubator and one of its portfolio companies - Turning Technologies - which a short time ago was ranked by Inc. Magazine as "the fastest growing privately held software company in the United States".Other cities listed included: Portland (OR), Austin (TX), Las Vegas (NV), Orlando (FL), San Diego (CA), Phoenix (AZ), Chapel Hill (NC), Atlanta (GA) and Madison (WI).
The news inspired a nearly 9 minute long U.S. Senate floor speech by U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown in which he discusses the comprehensive efforts Youngstown is undertaking to transform itself - from business entrepreneurship...to university investments in research/development/community partnerships...to neighborhood based organizing and community development work...to new political and civic leadership that is not only supporting such efforts but, in many instances, leading the way.
