City officials said Wednesday they want the site developed in fewer than 60 days or they’ll sue the owners. YOUNGSTOWN City officials said they are tired of the empty promises by the dormant Chill-Can project’s developer and are giving him fewer than 60 days to fulfill his obligations or they’ll see him in court. Mayor Jamael Tito Brown and Law Director Jeff Limbian said at a Wednesday news conference that a letter was sent Friday to Mitchell Joseph, CEO of M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can plant site, telling him to construct a number of buildings and hire about 150 workers within 60 days or the city will file a lawsuit. Limbian said someone at M.J. Joseph signed Monday for the certified letter.
