The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.54 percent, eight-year “job creation tax credit” to Crocs to move the work to Dayton.
The Dayton Daily News broke the news Feb. 28 that Crocs — one of the 10 largest non-athletic shoe brands —plans to move its North American distribution operation from Ontario, Calif. to a site near Dayton International Airport, with plans to hire more than 130 full-time workers late in 2019.
The decision represents yet another distribution operation planting a flag in the Dayton area where the local jobless rate remains near historic lows.
Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. — in Dayton, Riverside, Beavercreek and Fairborn — expects to create 60 full-time positions, generating $5.1 million in new annual payroll and retaining $30.9 million in existing payroll as a result of the company’s expansion project in those cities, the state said Monday.
The Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.912 percent, seven-year job creation tax credit for this project.
Booz Allen Hamilton is a consulting firm specializing in analytics, digital solutions, engineering and cyber-security.
In all on Monday, the state approved tax credits for 11 projects set to create 1,715 new jobs and retain 1,448 jobs across Ohio.
