Youngstown city officials and leaders of Joseph Co. International recently celebrated the groundbreaking of the Chill Can Beverage Complex and Technology Center, a $20-million complex that “will use the world’s first self-chilling beverage can,” Vindy.com reports. The California-based company “has the trademark to the ‘chill can,’ which allows a drink to be chilled in less than a minute by turning a knob on the can’s bottom.” Mayor John A. McNally said, “[t]his is a great day for the city of Youngstown. It is not often in a city of any size where you’re able to help break ground on a project that’s going to bring anywhere between 240 and 250 jobs.” Youngstown City Council recently authorized the board of control to grant a 75-percent, 10-year real estate tax abatement for the project, which will “save the company an estimated $313,142 in taxes over 10 years, with Joseph Co. paying $86,841 during that time.” For more, read the full article.
