Cross Appointed to Ohio House Coronavirus Task Force

Written by on April 7, 2020

COLUMBUS – Today, Speaker Larry Householder (R-Glenford) announced the appointment of State Representative Jon Cross (R-Kenton) to OHIO 2020, a bipartisan task force that will study the ways the Ohio House can lay the foundation for economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I appreciate the opportunity to represent Northwest Ohio on this economic recovery task force,” said Cross. “My previous experience as a chamber of commerce and economic development professional will be put to good use to engage with small, medium and large businesses and employers to build a recovery plan to jumpstart Ohio’s economy and help get Ohioans back to work.”

OHIO 2020 consists of 24 members of the Ohio House of Representatives. The group is geographically diverse, with members representing urban, suburban and rural communities from throughout Ohio.

Speaker Householder said that as the critical work of doctors, nurses, first responders and public health leaders continues in an effort to keep Ohioans safe and healthy, it’s equally important to focus on planning Ohio’s economic recovery.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives, including the economic well-being and future of Ohio families and businesses,” said Householder. “What are the barriers to economic recovery? How do we help Ohio’s families and employers recover and emerge stronger than before? This is a critical time for Ohio’s future. I believe we can rebound from this challenge in a better position than anyone in the nation if we plan ahead and implement well.”

The panel will begin meeting remotely today. There will be guests each meeting from the business, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, services and recreational sectors to discuss their experience and brainstorm ways to rebound Ohio’s job market once COVID-19 has ran its course.
