Legrand provides electrical and digital building infrastructure. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.399 percent, eight-year “job creation tax credit” for this project.

Legrand bought Moraine-based Lastar, Inc., including its Quiktron and C2G divisions, in 2014. Seven years earlier, Lastar had moved from a Webster Street location in Dayton to 3555 Kettering Blvd. in Moraine.

In Warren County, EPC-Columbia Inc., expects to create 50 full-time jobs in Lebanon, generating $1.9 million in new annual payroll and retaining $1.1 million in existing payroll as a result of an expansion there.

EPC provides plastic injection molded products for industries including automotive, appliances, medical, healthcare, and commercial food products. The Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.018%, six-year tax credit for that expansion.

In all on Monday, Ohio announced credits for five projects set to create 679 new jobs and retain 549 jobs statewide.
