On May 27, in Jackson, Ohio, my staff and I ventured to picturesque Jackson, Ohio, located in the Appalachian foothills, to celebrate the economic development success of another fruitful partnership—Ohio Basic Minerals.
Patrick McDonald, Ohio Basic Minerals CEO, and Jeff Schrader, founder of the original Schrader and Sons Sand and Gravel, spoke to the crowd of local and state dignitaries, Ohio Basic Minerals employees and business partners.
