Akron firm bids to run Ohio Transportation Center
Herman Hochschwender of Smithers Scientific Services said his Akron firm will bid Friday to take over management of the Transportation Research Center of Ohio in East Liberty. He aims to turn the state run center into a money maker within a couple of years after a $39 million, 8100 acre project purposefully built for vehicle safety tests. A bill to grant tax exemptions to rehabilitate housing passed the Senate 33 0, enabling counties to create reinvestment areas for incentives. Detroit automakers say car upholstery fabric containing Tris will be phased out by next year as a precaution against cancer links.
