Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced today that he has directed the chair of the Ohio Tax Credit Authority to pause consideration of any new data center tax exemption requests while the Ohio General Assembly's Joint Data Center Committee studies the growth of data centers in Ohio.
Danone North America will expand its Minster facility with a new yogurt production line, creating 30 jobs after receiving a state-approved tax credit.
One of the projects is an expansion at FMT Plastics in Findlay. The TCA approved a job creation tax credit for six years. The expansion is expected to create 52 full-time jobs, which will generate around $2.5 million in payroll each year. It will also retain another $1.4 million in existing payroll. FMT Plastics is a plastic injection molding company. All nine projects approved by the Tax Credit Authority will create around $322 million in investments.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority has approved two projects that will create around 130 new jobs in Mercer and Auglaize counties.
