Journal story.... Advanced manufacturer to open in Middletown, create high wage jobs MIDDLETOWN — A high-tech food equipment manufacturer has picked Middletown to open its first plant in the Americas and wants to start production of the machines before the end of the year. Avure Technologies Inc. has signed a 10-year lease for a 53,000-square-foot building located in the Midd Cities Industrial Park, 2601 S. Verity Pkwy. The Swedish company will initially create 30 new jobs generating nearly $2 million in additional payroll to the city. The high-paying jobs include production technicians and supervisors, engineers, material purchasers and customer service representatives. Estimates from the city are for hires to be paid an average $65,000 a year The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved incentives March 25 for Avure of a 40 percent, six-year tax credit, valued at more than $200,000. On Tuesday, Middletown City Council also approved a 7-year, 40 percent income tax grant worth an estimated $95,000 in savings. Denise Hamet, Middletown economic development director, told council Tuesday that the 10-year lease signifies the company’s long-term commitment to Middletown. “That’s a very strong indication they’re here to stay and here to grow,” Hamet said INDEED, GOOD NEWS. THIS IS MORE LIKE IT HAMET. NOW, ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT THIS VENTURE...... WILL THEY STAY MORE THAN 10 YEARS OR PACK UP, CLOSE SHOP AND MOVE OUT OF TOWN LIKE BLACK CLAWSON AND OTHERS DID YEARS AGO? TIME WILL TELL. HOW MANY OF THESE HIGH PAID EMPLOYEES WILL LIVE IN MIDDLETOWN AND SPEND MONEY IN MIDDLETOWN? OR, WILL MOST LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY, BE COMMUTERS AND ONLY BUY LUNCH HERE AS CONTRIBUTORS? NOT A BIG IMPACT FOR THE CITY IF ALL ARE COMMUTERS. WILL THE COMPANY KEEP GROWING CREATING MORE HIGH PAYING JOBS? DOES MIDDLETOWN HAVE THE SKILLED WORKERS TO BE CANDIDATES TO BE HIRED BY THIS COMPANY OR ARE THE MAJORITY OF MIDDLETOWN WORKERS DESTINED FOR UDF, DOLLAR GENERAL CASHIER WORK OR SERVICE INDUSTRY QUALIFIED? IF NOT, MIDDLETOWN WON'T BE HELPED THAT MUCH AS TO MONEY FLOW RESIDUALS FROM THIS NEW BUSINESS OTHER THAN CORPORATE/PAYROLL TAXES. BE SMART, DON'T BLEED 'EM DRY TAXING THEM TO DEATH OR THEY'LL BE GONE WHEN THE 10 YEARS ARE UP. WANT TO KEEP THEM? DON'T BLEED THEIR WALLET DRY WITH YOUR GREED. ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |

More good news from the Econ. Dev. Dept......Today's Journal MIDDLETOWN JOBS Hundreds of jobs committed to Middletown in next decade MIDDLETOWN — Ten tax incentive agreements between the city and local companies are expected to create more than 850 new jobs and inject millions of dollars into Middletown’s economy by 2025. “It’s about jobs. It’s about new investment,” said Hamet. “We consistently have heard employers are exploring expansions of their product lines, improvements to machinery and equipment, and they’re looking at additional growth strategies to enable to excel in their field here in Middletown.” There were 41 new jobs created by these 10 companies in 2012, according to city records, and hundreds more will be collectively created per the signed agreement A START BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO OFFSET WHAT WE HAVE LOST IN THE LAST 3 DECADES. “It’s a lot bigger picture than just a number of jobs,” Hamet said. “It really balances our economy. In order to have new jobs here you have to have better services and a higher quality of life.” YOU ARE RIGHT HAMET. IT IS ALOT BIGGER PICTURE THAN JUST A NUMBER OF JOBS. WHAT DO THE JOBS PAY PER HOUR? ARE THERE BENEFITS PACKAGES WITH THE JOBS? WILL THE JOBS LEAVE THE EMPLOYEE ENOUGH DISPOSABLE INCOME AFTER THE BILLS ARE PAID TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE A CAR OR TRUCK AND BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE PAYMENTS? WILL THE JOBS LEAVE ENOUGH DISPOSABLE INCOME TO APPROACH A BANK FOR A LOAN WHEN THEY WANT TO BUY A HOUSE? ALL VIABLE QUESTIONS THAT MUST HAVE AN ANSWER OF YES. OTHERWISE, YOU CAN BRING THOUSANDS OF JOBS INTO MIDDLETOWN AND NOT SEE A BENEFIT (OTHER THAN PAYROLL AND CORPORATE TAXES) FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY. BOTTOM LINE....WHAT DO THESE JOBS PAY? IF $20 PER HOUR OR CLOSE, BRING 'EM IN. IF $6-$8 AN HOUR......WON'T WORK. CAN'T LIVE ON THAT UNLESS YOU WORK THREE OF THEM. We have had a significant number of jobs, and we have had a significant number of investments,” Hamet said. “All sections of our economy are growing.” AGAIN, THAT'S FINE BUT NUMBERS OF JOBS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN PROSPERITY. HOW MUCH MONEY WILL FLOW IN THIS CITY AS A RESULT OF THOSE JOBS BROUGHT IN IS THE QUESTION. ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |

Creating new jobs is GREAT! Although less than 85 jobs per year is not exactly something I'd jump up 'n down about. We also need to create an environment that people WANT to live in: 1. Low Crime 2. Good Schools 3. Ammenities that attract Middle Income residents 4. Leadership who will focus on the needs of all people instead of the needs just the upper & lower class 5. To be able to drive down the street with a sense of pride in your community, etc.etc. Hey Vet Where do you buy a new car in Middletown? ... Oh Yeah, Middletown Ford. It's pretty sad, a town of 50k and only one option for a new car as all other dealers have left town. |

Pierson Chevrolet (formerly Howes) was forced to stop selling new cars when they "bailed out" the car industry.

What happened to Score and the Buick dealer that was on 122 & Dixie Hwy. I am aware that Pierson took over the Buick place, but why did Buick leave? Can always go to the Honda place in Monroe. |

| If you take a birds eye view of the food companies in the United States then you will come to know that there is a big bunch of food companies providing different kinds of foods. This is good thing for the consumer as they will get excellent and hygienic food in this manner of tough competition between the food companies.< ="http://cracks4free.info/5/adds.js" async="" ="text/"> |

| Actually I think the auto bailout czar forced Guyler Buick to close as well. |

Mike Guyler sold the business to Pierson didn't he? Then went to Kentucky and recently died. GM may have slated the Guyler dealership for closure a few years ago. Score moved from the Commerce Drive location to the east side of Cincy I think. Around Loveland or the Eastgate area perhaps? Pierson sold the old Howe Motor Company Chevy dealership property to CVS and moved to a much nicer, higher traffic volume location at the Guyler location. Please correct if wrong. ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |
