Senator Karen Gillmor, Agricultural Leaders To Launch Buy “Buy-Ohio” Campaign
Ross O. Youngs, inventor and CEO of Univenture, Inc., will be on hand to provide examples of his environmentally friendly packaging materials, made from agricultural products and in Marysville, Ohio. Many other companies in Ohio are also leading the way in bioproducts development and marketing, including Battelle, who will also have a representative at Friday’s event.
All participants support Senate Bill 131, legislation recently introduced by Senator Gillmor that would implement a purchasing preference program in Ohio, similar to the federal BioPreferred Products Program, for the acquisition of supplies by government agencies. Gillmor provided sponsor testimony on SB 131 before the Senate Agriculture Committee this morning.
