Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today toured Lubrizol Advanced Materials in Cleveland and joined local manufacturers, business leaders and Case Western Reserve University officials for a roundtable discussion on strengthening northeast Ohio\u2019s manufacturing economy, including funding Husted advocated for the school.\n\n\u201cOhio is the manufacturing engine that keeps our nation moving forward. Lubrizol\u2019s advanced materials and Case Western Reserve University\u2019s NEO-SMART initiative are driving innovation across northeast Ohio. Investments like these will help ensure northeast Ohio remains at the forefront of manufacturing and innovation for decades to come,\u201d Husted said.\n\nThe roundtable focused on Case Western Reserve University\u2019s recent grant award. The U.S. National Science Foundation selected the university\u2019s Northeast Ohio Strengthening Manufacturing for American Resilience through Technology (NEO-SMART) initiative as one of 12 recipients nationwide to receive an NSF Regional Innovation Engines award.\n\nThis comes after Husted\u2019s May 22, 2026, letter to Acting NSF Director Brian Stone supporting the NEO-SMART proposal. The NSF Engines program can provide up to $160 million over 10 years to support the initiative.\n\nThe NEO-SMART proposal outlines a 10-year plan expected to create an estimated 20,000 jobs across 18 counties in northeast Ohio. The initiative is a partnership of more than 70 organizations spanning industry, academia, workforce development, philanthropy and government.\n\nHusted also supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act in July, which includes pro-growth policies that support investment in manufacturing states like Ohio:", 1, "2026-07-18T06:58:50Z", "2026-07-18T07:00:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.husted.senate.gov/media/press-releases/husted-in-cleveland-with-manufacturers-and-innovators-highlights-secured-funding-for-manufacturing-hub/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8688501548022032, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
