President Donald Trump revealed that a new submarine repair center will call Cleveland home at a rally in Youngstown tonight.
“I’m … pleased to announce that the Department of War has officially selected the new home of the U.S. Submarine
Component Repair Center, a big deal that everybody wanted, and it’s going to be right here in Ohio, in Cleveland, Ohio,” Trump said.
He added that the "massive" facility will manufacture, repair, and maintain parts for U.S. submarines.
The President sent out a presidential memorandum directing administration officials to identify a suitable location for the component repair center within 90 days back in August.
This announcement comes as Trump campaigns for Republican candidates in key battleground states.
"There are no specific details to share at this time. The City would welcome and support the Navy’s interest in development opportunities in Cleveland," the city said on Tuesday.
