The ceremony also recognizes the commitment of Paychex as the project’s largest tenant as well as the public commitment of the State of Ohio in the form of a $2.16 million Job Ready Sites program grant. City of Middletown also contributed as a development partner, offering tax incentives to help Paychex with its move to East Pointe.

Fisher will emphasize Ohio’s economic development tools, such as the Job Ready Sites program grants, that enabled the development of East Pointe. About 50 are expected to attend. Mayor Mulligan will remark about the importance of partnership to the momentum of development projects.
“This partnership shows that Middletown, Ohio, is a good place for business growth,” he said. “East Pointe represents another tipping point for Middletown’s economy in a positive way. We are becoming defined by the new economy service, technology, research and health care jobs that are pointing us into our future as a regional leader.”
