LORDSTOWN A Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company investing $38 million here to remake the former Magna Seating Systems plant into a plastics facility is asking the state for funding to enhance railroad access at the site.
When the Ohio Rail Development Commission meets Wednesday, it will decide on a $100,000 request from M&M Industries Inc., which in December acquired 1702 Henn Parkway to be the company’s fourth manufacturing location in the U.S.
According to the company, the light manufacturing and assembly plant will “manufacture current and future innovations” for M&M. When the site is fully operational, it will employ about 100 workers.
