One year ago, former Vice President Mike Pence rode in a new electric pickup from Lordstown Motors and proclaimed it was a new day for the Mahoning Valley.
Ohio officials hailed the company as a savior for the region after General Motors shut down its Chevrolet Cruze operation and took thousands of union jobs with it. The promise was a bold one: Lordstown would manufacture trucks that get the electric power equivalent of 75 miles per gallon of gas.
