Columbus--Senate Democratic Leader Capri S. Cafaro (D-Hubbard) applauded Governor Ted Strickland’s announcement today that WEK Industries in Jefferson, Ohio will receive a $250,000 award to increase energy efficiency. The grant from the Ohio State Energy Program will help WEK Industries create 31 new full-time jobs while saving the company nearly 5,000 million BTUs from more efficient motors, pumps and lighting.
