NYA to Build Middleport Metal Shop With Bond Support
Middleport voters face a November bond issue to fund a $46,200 NYA metal foundry on Grave Hill. The project, a joint federal and municipal effort, allocates $10,000 for Middleport and would hire two shifts of 50 youths, supplying products for 18 to 20 NYA shops in Ohio. If the plant closes the building reverts to the town. Construction to start in October.
