YOUNGSTOWN City Law Director Jeff Limbian said no progress was made during a nearly two-hour meeting with the attorney for the Chill-Can project’s developer.
“Nothing new was brought to the table,” Limbian said of Friday’s meeting. “The expectation by them was to ask the city how to resolve this so they can have more time to make the right things happen. We’ve already given them time. We asked for solutions, and it doesn’t seem like those solutions are going to come.”
Limbian and Joseph Houser, an attorney hired by the city, met with Brian Kopp, an attorney representing Mitchell Joseph and his company, M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can property on the city’s East Side.

Mitchell Joseph, CEO of M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can property on the cityâs East Side, told city leaders Wednesday he needs more time to complete the project.
YOUNGSTOWN The developer of the stalled Chill-Can project says he needs more time to complete the work, but city officials remain unmoved by the request.
“Time is needed to complete the construction phase of the Youngstown complex and hire Valley residents so that we may begin to manufacture and distribute product,” said Mitchell Joseph, CEO of M.J. Joseph Development Corp., which owns the Chill-Can property, in a prepared statement issued Wednesday by his attorney.
