Cossler has a rap about how Youngstown is perfectly suited to become a mecca for producers of business-to-business software. “When you buy software,” he says, his voice a bit high and nasal, “do you ever turn over the box and say, ‘I wonder where this was made?’You don’t! Nobody cares where software is made. And you can make software in Youngstown, Ohio, inexpensively. You can hire a software programmer in Youngstown for $50,000, and that’s a good salary.
Inc magazine takes notice of Youngstown’s turnaround.

I was very happy to see Youngstown get some positive national press.
I look at Canton (I’m typing this comment from there) and even Akron and wonder when they will get it.
