$5M fund announced to address Ohio layoffs
Gov. Bob Taft announced last week that $5 million is available to help regional and local communities in the state address the impact of pending and future large-scale layoffs.
Administered by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, these mass-layoff planning grants will enable impacted communities to immediately begin developing workforce development strategies to respond to the layoffs before they occur.
The announcement followed word last week that Ford plans to close its stamping plant in Maumee, where it employs 700.
