The Business Journal in Youngstown, Ohio, and ProPublica are investigating economic development incentives in the Mahoning Valley. If you know something about how these programs were used — or abused, we would like to hear from you. We’d particularly like to hear from:

• Past or present employees of companies that received development incentives.
• Government and economic development officials, providing additional information and insights on how incentives can be better deployed and monitored for compliance.
• Business leaders with suggestions on the types of incentives that small businesses need.
