Strickland named head of Midwestern Governors Association
Gov. Ted Strickland was named chairman of the Midwestern Governors Association and co-chair of the Council of Great Lakes Governors, according to a press release from the governor’s office on Sunday, Feb. 21.
Strickland’s agenda for the midwestern governors group is “midwest jobs,” the release said.
This includes training workers and investing in businesses for the new energy economy and building on the regional efforts to foster economic growth and opportunities for the Midwest in the new energy economy, the release said.
He replaces Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
“As a region, the Midwest must determine how to best open up credit markets for mid-sized and smaller advanced energy companies,” Strickland said in the release.
“As we cast off our reputation as the ‘Rust Belt,’ we must capitalize on the entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic of midwesterners to expand our energy economy. Our region has the resources and potential to move this nation forward.”
